A Poem by Gathering_Stars

Balanced on a string this life is more fragile than you thought
Trapped inside a moment, tangled, now you're caught
Between two personalities, who you are and who you thought you'd be
Coming to find it's just not that easy.
Never thought you'd have to work so hard just to stay alive
Spending all your time struggling just trying to survive.
And you wonder what's the use if in the end none of it matters,
If all that you thought you'd acheieved is just a glass heart shattered.
But you compromise your values just to make the deadlines before they're due,
Don't need to be a hero, just want to make it through.
The race is on and you're still at the starting line,
Hoping that just maybe you can buy a little time.
And yet life goes on,
Life goes on.

Holding life so dearly in your hands, but it blows up in your face,
Kidnapped by your unconscious desires, but now they leave no trace.
And isn't it ironic that everything you once believed
Are the same things now that you think you'd never need?
And all the dreams you once imagined were destined to come true,
Are now the remainders of the nightmares that you've been wading through?
But what if the life you were meant to live lies just beyond the door?
You desperately want to enter through it, but still you are unsure.
So all of the doubts that rage inside your wavering mind
Are the ones that are keeping you ever so far behind.
You think you might have the strength to carry through the night
But you're afraid, you're not sure, what if you were right?
And yet life goes on.
Life goes on.

Wow. Dude this reminds me of the writer of ecclesiastes.....as he ponders each thought about life and where we all end up. This one is philosophical and a tad deeper than when You first wade into the pool. Why no title? It deserves one...maybe Life goes on, or life is a metaphor. Like the flow.....quick and biting.

I'm pretty sure that vampires, Harry Potter, and Albert Einstein live in a parallel universe. Actually I think that Albert Einstein somehow mis-haped himself into ours by some freak accident; althoug.. more..
