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!

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
