Death Makes a Fool Out of All of Us

by RunningOnEmpty   May 6, 2007


There's no way out
(there's no way in)
just born this way
born heart broken

no way to escape
there's no way to release
all the pain, all the angst
that builds-up within me

and the sun never shines
(i don't open my eyes)
it's all dark in my world
(there's a thing known as light?)

no such thing as a smile
(though i think i once could)
but i find i don't hide it
-- i know that i should

all this pain, building up
in my soul, breaks me down
like the end of my world
is not far from me now

another tear has fallen and it
slides, warm, down my face
makes a path that soon will end
and then one more will take its place

how does death make a fool
out of ones full of life
how do i find my passion
in the blade of a knife?

why can't i be normal
why can't the sun shine
i need love to exist
-- there's no love i can find

there is no more happy
there only is sad
when i look for escapes
i find they're looking back.

    The beginning was fine
    But the middle got kind of sloppy
    You always choose the big, great topics
    Now you just have to find
    The greats words to show it.
    Your poem, in the middle, kind of seemed cliched.
    But that is, of course, because you used
    One of my pet peeves, "angst"
    Eck.
    Hate that word.
    Lol.
    All in all, I give you a four.
    Just because, I know you can do better :]
