Hi,
As you might have guessed I'm not a poet, English literature enthusiast, well educated or even very smart.
All these poems are (if they are actually poems) is just a means for me to write down my thoughts. I find this helps me make sense of things and hopefully by putting them here other people who feel like me will know they are not alone any maybe even find some comfort in that.
Cheers,
Matt
My nature is bleak
I am the way I am
The front faces outwards there is peace here
A surface of tranquil wax
...
I sit, I stare one thousand yards, i'm still
I'm still here, but not still, anxious, checking, waiting
I'm angry, empty, fighting thoughts
I don't give up, not yet, small hope
...
Hollow, I have to fill this void.
Emptiness is sapping at my will.
Frantic clutching at straws to make it stop.
I'll do anything for it to end.
...
I don't pay heed to my past.
I move and shift. Get my distractions.
At any cost I must carry on, never reflecting.
In the wake of my needs people collect their thoughts.
