Why I will not get out of bed...

Post by Jadynara » Tue Sep 14, 2010 12:30 pm

i just can't do it
i can't... face them
the fighting
the tears
there's no room
for love
in a place with
so much war

it's tearing me
the leopard skin
on my bed
is my only protection
and as the shells
begin to fly
i find that the skin
is not enough

the disrespect
engulfs my brain
as i try to shut it off
the final words i hear
echo through
my empty head
and i begin to
envision myself in
those words
even though i know
they have
NOTHING
to do with me

they don't care
that they are
hurting me
i don't even know
if they realise
they are doing it
all i know is
there is no room
for love here
no room for
Love
in a bittersweet
war

Ist nomination
Entering the sanctuary of my mind may lead to perils of unknown magnitude.......... hold on and embrace the ride. Feel the tolls as we pass from existance into my sought domain of twisted reality. -negatv: 5/05-

If I changed anything I have done in my life I wouldn't be me. Personally, I kinda like me. I'm an asshole, but I'm my kind of asshole.

Friends are what help me guide myself through life. I just have to find the right direction first. -negatv- 10/06

[indent][/indent]a soldier, get out of your freakin bed :mrgreen:

depression is a major theme
the style is plain, the message is plain
for a free verse, i suppose it would work for some people
