Clueless Young Lad

Poem to myself back when this pic was taken, mid-2007

Retain your strength young man,

Tasks innumerable lie ahead,

Tests to daunt what's left of you

After seeing mankind's corruption.

You think that what you saw before

Was a sight to make your blood curdle?

A mother with a gun,

Parents lying slain

As a result of their love,

It's a madman's joke.

Just wait until the year passes,

Demons will rear their ugly heads.

Trust no soul

You don't consider

Your real family,

Human beings.

There's a shocking

Lack of them

Throughout the world,

As you'll find out.

Finer things in life

Will wait for their time.

Never give chase,

Never lie in wait.

Their worth is overrated

For they'll always betray.

In the end

Nothing matters

But what defines

You as a man.

Love is crap,

Everyone lies,

Women are killers

And men are abusers.

Become cold...

Become strong.

I really enjoyed reading this poem. It's always great to tell yourself to become strong. I mean in this world you have to be. You have to be strong to be able to face the hard times. I also felt the darkness in your words. I loved the emotions within this piece though. Thank you for sharing, daddy Goku.

You should know that telling me not to do something will only make me curious. Kinda wish I had listened though. Incredibly heart wrenching.

Seeeeeeee? I told you, this is why Mistress should obey her Bunny. Thanks for taking the time to read it, but you oughtn't have done so pretty lass.

I wish you could see my eyebrows right now...they are...way the f**k up there. This is intense, John. Thanks for demanding my attention on this one. I will be chewing on this for some time to come...

Thanks for obeying and reading this one Kimmer. I'm glad to have stimulated your mind.

*laugh* I am nothing if not obedient ;-)

I feel like you've revealed to me your own life's history through these words. Given what I know, this shows others just a hint of you, makes you more of a human to your readers and followers. Great personal contact, and happy writing.

There is such a painful melody flowing through your words... a dark song born of sadness... Your words speak of strength.. of hardening to face the cold world.. And yes.. it's one way to survive, though it can be lonely... Been too long since I've read your word.. So powerful.
