Brennan Gunster Poet I do not know?

Lament of My Life

Nothing but a dream
I tell myself
but sadly it's all real
my life has ripped my heart 
and would not let it seam 
for it ripped open every time
I glanced into the past
So I try not to look back.
But the past made me who I am.
So how can I ignore what made me?
I look around and just want to break free.
But I'm trapped,
I can see piles of brain dead people
walking around me, 
following a bell as if it was a deity.
Not asking why cause it's normal.
They don't know anything different. 
I once had a dream where I was free
and know I know I am not free.
Why do I stay here? my dad? my future?
No it has to be fear that keeps me here.
Stuck with people I don't like 
and people that will never understand me.
Fear pulls me back like earth's gravity
unable to get off the ground 
but fear that I will become nothing
and that I will not make a sound on this ever moving world.
I want to make my mark,
cause thats all we want.
I want to be heard over the 6 billion people on this world.

This is the first poem I made it jumps around but still one of my favorites.

Poet Destroyer A March 14, 2016 at 5:15 PM Brennan, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you.
