Contemptfull thoughts...

by Thomas   Jan 2, 2014


I saw you twirl and cry in pain,
And then I realised the irony of this insane,
And twisting, malevolent life we reign;
A pause I'd ask, to take and to give,
All the pain inside of our kin - I live,
With the horror, of being on the side with the good,
And living with the thought. of which that I could
be a better guy...

Oh, if only I was like Superman...
I'd travel back in time, If I can;
See through to put on a plan:
Turn down all evil, by force of will...
Only to acknowledge that I am nill,
In the eyes of those who I'd consider
friends- in their eyes I am litter.
Maybe I shouldn't sigh...

With much thought, I try to consider,
What my past means, and what the future will deliver.
And... wether or not I'll ever meet her;
The one I'd actually give my life for...
And the one, who I'd adore.
For as I grow older, in age and wisdom,
I gain foresight of a different freedom...
Equally built in honor.

After much thought, I have decided,
To write down my pains, carefully plotted,
In my subconscious, a silent mind, unthwarted.
I am old enough now, to do my plot,
As such that I am, an untamed mutt,
With a forcing need, to work neatly just,
And a mind with which I must,
Stand up... unlike a goner.

..It hurts to nod, and blindly stare..
To want a hug, simple, bare;
And to realise: They don't care...
It hurts to carve for a simple hug,
Especially when it feels like a drug.
I am like a sock: colorfull, rated,
As if my pain will never be sated.
An ever-chasing nightmare...

I've witnessed moments, all so cruel,
And moments when I've felt burnt of fuel...
So I conclude, that I was a fool.
But weren't we all fools in the past?
A wonder, they say, how time travels so fast...
From dust we became, and to dust we head,
It's a wonder, we aren't all dead.
We live life with mixed care.

Oh, how I wish life was a mere dream,
Something that would come to pass; a beam
of powerfull emotions, which could only seem.
Alas, I mustn't make it hurt,
For I must always stay alert.
My consciousness demands living,
And my aspirations ask for dreaming;
For a better future.

= This is my first poem, which I had wrote while plotting in which direction I wish to go in life. I took a hard decision on wether to share it or not, as it's a poem that says a lot about my past self. It carries memories, conclusions, emotions, thought, so much that I consider it as being a part of me. =

    The harsher critics will urge you to be imaginative in losing repetitious "And"'s
    The poem delivered much feeling

      The "And"'s are there to intensify the monotony, at least in my view. "And.., and.., and.." a continuous listing of daily, trivial, yet bullet-figurative ideas, sometimes ones that are kill-obsessive, others are simply there to state my obessive need for a change of some sort, and others are there to state the obvious.
      I may rework this into something at some point, perhaps a "Part 2"-esque poem.

      Otherwise, I didn't have much care about this, as it was my first poem, much like the others. Beside that, I don't usually pay much attention to anything but what the message is, and how it could be, is, or can be percieved by the viewer.

      Otherwise, lots of thanks for the critique, Michael!
