Poem
Motivate I have been carrying a planet on my back for so long, it’s still trying; Because every time I make it to near the top of Mount Mind, I am destroyed; taken from mine. A seed falls from a leaf, As a once upon a time witness, To the being that was, or is, or could be me. I am stood here waiting for a reason to carry on; But I cannot carry a world when I stand alone as one. So I will share my burdens with you all; Help me to help another, or help another, If you hear them call. We all need good neighbours, I must get to know mine, But time flies! People lose belief in everything, Shaded beneath the mango tree. Nothing even matters anyway; right? I just cannot see a way into the light. I cannot motivate, nor can I hate, When all I feel is in view for you to rate. I cannot motivate myself to improve my health; I need help to find a better way to leave this Hell. Eating better, but still smoking; I would laugh, but I’m not joking. Fictional love behind the steering wheel. Driving force in need of being healed. We begin again too many times to make a difference. Waiting on your world too many times to be of any consequence. I took control of my own life, By taking down the fences. Waiting on your world to change. Your TV no longer shows happy days, When I am in need of being mended. Waiting on a world, Whilst I am trapped inside your zoo. Without loving words we will remain as two, When we should be as one; Not gone. One thought, one mind; A sign of the times should shine. Sing the sad tunes and remain in the dunes; The claws in your back has not and will not be removed. Skin too tough to ever be just right. Life is our basic instinct. The caged minds hide all their sunlight. One move, one fall and all this goes away; Away into eternal night. This is no time for wishful thinking. This is the only chance I have to live this life.
