My Problem

Born to live, Never wanting to die, fearing death to its every limit, as blue eyed death grabs my shoulders and laughs with grim and I fear death even more. Car crashes, murders, greed and envy takes me to a place where I can't find hope. Laughs grow and brings tears to my eyes, I hope off trains and dodge cars driving down freeways taking time to sit down and look at my ways, that push me left nor right. Up nor down can I see the time tick away I can't wait till I walk Jacob's ladder, till a black demon tears me down, and sins rip me open, like a surgeon to a patient on a table, Me, myself and I take time to see the wrongs in life. Do I dare shake the vines from the dark green jungles that tangle deep in my mind, body and soul? I shake with vengence when time turns its face from me. Time has no time for me and she takes me by the hand and wastes my life away with endless heartbreak and drunken whores and buffoons, who care only about themselves. The evil souls burn away, and their blind eyes do not see what they do to others' hearts and souls. I believe the strangeness of me is that I love too much, and care too much to actually open my eyes and see what burns away infront of my very eyes. I only see what my heart wants to see my romantic side kills me away, while my physical being is falling apart with heartbreak and sorrow. The strange part is, love was never there to be found, and the strangeness of me, is that I love too much to see blue eyed death coming to get me.

Well, seems as though you should be a rockstar to have this in a poetic memoir. Reminds me of the song stranglehold.. "your loves got me in a starangle hold baby" good writing, good grief. Cindy
