David Knox Poems

I used to be careless
Then I longed for the sweet caress
The freedom, the release
The end of me
...

What is it that could break this spell?
What is it that would make me well?
I'm distraught, obsessed, and alone...
It's a feeling, a place, a zone
...

How easy it is to forget what's true when you feel the falsehood
The truth should expose it, it should
And yet you wallow, knowing what you really cannot escape
Is what is true, is light, there is no darkness it's fake
...

How do I say what I want so that you say what you want?
I'm not sure what that is but you're holding back
I know, I can just tell...
It is not honesty you lack
...

It is not achievements or goals or trophies
Or accolades or awards or the end itself
For which we strive, we as humans think that
Is what we desire, but
...

look out and that window and see
you better look out here comes me
ha you thought you could crush me in one blow
then for the rest of your life watch me wraith around in pain and die slow?
...

Interesting....but can you empathize do you know
what that means to show
your scar
to not have a star
...

Hey how are you.....
Im just talking to the wall again there is nothing to do
wow this isnt glass *bang* what is this stuff
its worse then being in one hand cuff
...

I look out the window outside
And soon this reality begins to melt away
it seems in this darkness i cant hide
almost like there is no where to go no day
...

hands held together
sweat burning even in the cold weather
muscles cramped making for sure
this wonder is no dream that it is real and pure
...
