It's Obvious

I was introduced into the vast illusions of life. Some people call it love, others call it a knife. Cutting your skin so you can bleed. Each drop is a distraction from what you need. You close your eyes and take the pain. Then all your worries are temporarily in vain. No progress, no digress Just that moment to believe that more is less. Oh and you grieve from your hopelessness You accept the fact that you have lost your happiness You cry, You scream! Help is what you seek No one hears though, we just ignore and call you a freak All this segregation All this quote on quote integration The only thing it does is make the big seem bigger And the small seem smaller. Belief is the only thing you keep You grasp it so tightly and put it under your feet Each step is a different view You’re looking around for something new Eyes stay open, Heart is listening Your intentions are bright and glistening. You want to change from mad And achieve the beautiful emotion of simple glad Battle this depression, get away from this mess and Find a whole new state of mind open for progression. Your voice sounds desperate. Your scars show desperate. You are desperate, and you’ve made a mess of it. But it’s obvious to me, That you can finally see How to overcome the desperation And use your failures as inspiration. Yes, it’s obvious to me.

Most times, coping with love is 'tough'... but it's tougher coping without it... ;-) Nice poem... Terry
