Other Plans

I have other plans to suit my life.
 
The time has come when you just have 
to stop pretending that you really care.
 
I care not for your attitude
nor your ever-changing moods
I hate experiencing tempestuous feelings
of unsatisfied hunger:
births of lusty fires that always fizzle out
insatiate and forlorn.
I'd rather have rejection,
experience a strange mystery,
remain speechless while you're around.
 
Yet like a leech, a parasite of my life,
you stick around, never leaving me alone.
You’re too much part of me.
A familiar dance?
Blessed silence, broken by your silly notions
inducing pregnant pains of frivolous thoughts.
 
I experience mirthful reflections
of a fragile soul that needed approval of others.
I'll never accept that. Hope fades forever.
Reckless behaviour is definitely called for.
I stand steadfast like a black rock
just off the craggy shore. I'll never see you again.
Goodbye loneliness.
 
I have other plans to suit my life.

Loneliness can really bring your life and emotions to a low. Awesome write my friend. I think I’m over my pneumonia; doctors seem to think it was caused by my depression of the scam that brought my resistance of my body down.

Say Good bye to loneliness ! You have so many things to do, so many other pleasurable occupations to engage in, like writing poetry. Why bother the nagging presence of loneliness when one has a flexible body to sing and dance! Beautiful poem, dear Victor!

You speak for many when you speak of loneliness. A powerful depiction of inner thoughts, Victor.

When the realization hits that we don't have to be lonely, it becomes a burden lifted that we need never have carried. These lines were boldly penned, Victor. Bravo for writing them with such a strong sense of conviction.

Sad to have to give up on a person who you thought cared about you and one that you cared about. The situation made a good poem. I can feel the emotion within the lines. Sara
