Cracks

My mind is not beautiful.

It's a dark mess.

You might see it one way,

but I see it another.

I'm in a constant spiral downwards.

I pick myself up.

I'm not my own motivation,

but I move on anyway.

There's always something in the corner of my eye,

it's begging to be played.

A card that has a strange face on it,

all dark and decayed.

I can't see the future,

because I don't think there is one.

I'll just wait until no one can see,

wait until I can't.

When the curtain falls on today,

I'll be long gone.

My tears will drown my fears,

and I enjoy that.

Well you are a dark little guy and that's ok I know the drill and I know the dark. Great piece of work. Give yourself a break and see if your hormones slow down over the next few years. Sometimes it reduces the dark. So any way sorta neighbor we will chat more. Thanks for coming back as suggested.

Honest and direct poetry.
"I'm not my own motivation,
but I move on anyway."
The above lines are true for the most of us. We move forward hoping for a good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hi LimnoH. You have a natural empathy for darkness of thought, though whether this is your own, or whether you have a keen acumen for the feelings of others, I have yet to decide. A read of a few more poems will clarify my mind on that!! loved this, alf

LimnoH, Your writing is always so dark but you do it so well. I write a lot of dark stuff that I don't post because...well, I don't really KNOW why I don't, just trying to stay private I guess. I'm NOT suggesting you do the same, however. Do what you do so well, that is who you are, and we like it that way! take care...dan

I'm not my own motivation,

seems this is written about insecurity

i think many feel this way

this is very illuminating
nicely penned
