what would you say
if you saw me now?
crying and bleeding
and its all because of you
...

What would it mean to be him?
To think and wonder
and always
always
...

What forces pull me under
As i catch a ray of light
Fighting in a never ending battle
...

I've done this a million times before,
this is the place i love.
But for some reason today,
my heart beats faster.
...

found my freddom this friday afternoon
the frost of winter melts as i run through the grass
the wind behind me
the world before me
...

If there was one thing that I wish I could be,
The thing I would wish for would surely be me.
For me to be me must be a great treat,
And nobody else could accomplish that feat.
...

A consumate gaze that brings me life
Will often pierce me to the core.
Unsure if the eyes emit love or hate
I must gaze back into yours.
...

[I'm entering this in my first contest, so any suggestions, criticisms or appraisals are appreciated]

Trapped in a void of misery,
the concentric hands slow down time itself.
