Intriguing Reality

It’s been so hard for me again as life rolls on purging myself with intuitive reactions burdens I’ve built with pointless interactions Longing inside with tortuous delusions Life’s delicate enhancement of dissimilar illusion Fading within as the lights go dim alone without response shameless as my self esteems lacking within It’s like everything’s slowly falling apart trying to figure a way out of this among those who manipulate my spark What to do now is the question I fear where can I go with you while trying to keep the ones I love most ever so near Losing everything that I’ve had situated for years What’s the next step in my journey I’ve salvaged amongst my peers burning with internal anxiety as I watch my life flash in front of me without containing my reality I’m losing this war souls lost step becoming lost instead of being inept Lasting goodbyes to those who have been there lingering thoughts keeping my soul lacking despair Lasting looks to those I love so deep see you soon as my mind and body drift so peacefully into the deep I’m sorry I let you down and it hurts Always remember that life is only what’s written on this granite below is all that remains of me in the dirt

I’m flattered with your words. I’m just putting my feelings from life unfortunately but I’m honestly gonna keep it real. Thinking about my experiences or relationships with people or whatever I go through. Thanks again

Matt Coffelt, this sounds sad yet musical. Sometimes it feels deeply that hapless and hopeless but we fight out and come out rekindled...

Hello Peter I posted a new poem called Enhanced Visions and I would love your input. By the way I am becoming a huge fan of your work by the way! Thanks and have a great day

I feel the same way exactly. I’ve been writing since I was 16 years old. Notebooks filled and I’m trying to get my work out there for people to enjoy it. Thanks and have a great day!
