In The Own Eyes Of It Poem by Tony Jr.

In The Own Eyes Of It



I stare and I study,
I watch and I learn,
How it acts,
What moves it makes,
The moods it has and how they change,
It's truly extraordinary...

Here to be equal, yet different,
To standout,
This was not a problem,
Pushed out,
Forced by it's own true being,
Not like others,
Special in its own kind of way...

The night was its day,
Alone was its peace,
Peace was not easily gotten ...

Thoughts ran through the mind like a marathon,
Yet there never was no ending,
An end it wishes,
All there ever were was wishes...

Betrayal kept it from trust,
Loud thoughts,
Silent words,
Dead expression,
Emotions showed like a statue...

Shell shocked or merely a hopeless soul,
Life was war,
This world was its war zone,
Stationed in a state of evil...

What kills it only makes it stronger,
No,
What kills it makes it simply feel alive!

Tony, there are some intriguing ideas behind the poem, but your insistence on using abstractions (being, trust) kills the poem's energy. Maybe read lots of good contemporary poetry (Mary Oliver, Philip Levine) for inspiration and guidance? If you have time, check out my new website: jeffersoncarterverse.com Tell me how you like it, and, if you do, perhaps share it with interested friends? Thanks! Yrs, JC
