Me? Poem by Crimson Soul

Me?



Walking A Road To Nowhere;
No Destination, No Thoughts;
Just Walking For The Sake Of The Journey;
The Cause Long Lost;

And Meaning Forever Gone;

Me? Who Is... That...?

You Mean That Thing Not To Be Seen?
Splitting Its Smile
With A Cold Steel Knife,
Ripping The Seams,
Tearing Night,
A Bloody Smile,
On The Floor,
Blood Leading,
Out The Door,
To That Body,
On The Street?
That Must Be Me.
Shouldn't It?

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Crimson Soul 22 December 2012

You Talk About A Poet As A Profession... Which To Some It May Be, But Certainly Not A Good One In Today's Time. Should? We As People Cannot Even Say What Someone Should Do. We Do Not Know Them, Nor Do We Know What Is Their Definitions. I Have Reasons To Be Negative, As I Assume Many Others Do As Well. A Happy Cause To The World, Is Simply A Fake Really, To And For Those Who Write And Read Such. A Reality Is Always Pain. A Fashion Among Poets? I Assume So. I Don't Indulge Myself In Much Poetry, Never Cared For Reading Too Much Of It. Yet Here I Am Writing It. Anyone Can Write A Happy Poem. That Is Both The Layman And The Poet. The One Who Writes Because Pain Inspired Them Too, Is The A Poet. But The One Who Writes In Happiness, Is A Layman and A Poet As I Said, And Therefore, A True Poet. I Do not Wish To Write Like What I Am Not. I Wouldn't Know Of Any Other Reasons. Variety... There Is Always Variety, If You Look In The Right Places. I Could Write a Happy Poem. To Give You Joy and Hope. But to Me, It Feels Fake. To Search For A True Happy Poem, You Need To See Through The Lies Written, and Find They Were Your Own. Pertaining To Your First Question, Why. That Is Rhetorical. Why Would One Write So Gruesomely? To Simply Let Out Pain that Is Never Seen. To Die So Slowly, Yet Be Unable To Show It-Is Indeed A Torture Comparable To Deaths Rejection Until Parting. To Have Experienced Things that Shouldn't Have Been, And Live With It. With No Expression, No Remnant Of A Wisp Of Remembrance To Be Forced To Be Remembered, But Forgotten. So, I Believe I Have Answered All Your Questions.

Why should one be so negative like this? A poet should give some positive energy to the world, some message to the world. Otherwise, what is the difference between a layman and a poet? I don't know why most of the poets are having the same attitude as you. Has it become a fashion among the poets to describe life only like this? Where is the variety?
