A good day

Wind, with water on land, safe fire. Heart seeing it all.

as i drive to Macon, Ga

I focus my attention to the road

the music im jamming too

has me feeling the drive of the road

my mind on this girl who hates me

who i would dare not talk to cause of difficulty

weighs my mind down though I am humbly calm

 

in her eyes, im an ugly nobody who acts psyco all the time

in my eyes, I am a man just living my life sharing love

in her eyes, im a good for nothing looser who lives in my car

in my eyes, I am a man who can adapt to any situation

 

Her harsh judgment pounds my mind so much that i feel physically beat up

 

and I dont know how i should react

 

and, my heart broken before

but never like this...

 

In my life I was always searching for love because I was being a lost boy

just like peter pan, living off in my imagination world because the real world scared me.

Then, when my mom died, I lost the boy side of me.

 

in that moment where one feels like a lost soul

the human nature rock bottom.

but the rock bottom only real Earth

Stand on it, I was told

Walk on it, and I listened

"Move through it like water" the wise old child says

and I heard this through my left ear

 

so, the road before is the road behind me passing by

her judgment only leads her further away from herself

hince the reason I now consider her family

a man love his family differently than he loves his friends

and the love a positive infinite effection

all in all it may seem much

in reality only little.

 

The good day is here

because i can honestly say

that I accept my faults

I accept my failures

and I work to find balance in this real world today

 

my goal, not to prove anyone wrong or right

but to be the man I am meant to be

by only making good life out of myself

 

for i am one with tao as tao is me

zen in life with mind opened

This is so amazing...
So real. So harsh.
I love this line: "just like peter pan, living off in my imagination world because the real world scared me."
It tugs on my heart because I know that feeling so well.
I would -love- to her it in spoken form, with all the emotions intensified.
Very well done.
I will defiantly read more from you soon. *smile*

Oooo! Toaist!!! YAY!!! Sorry, I'm Taoist too...Anyway, I like the poem. It's telling. But the top part no longer seems to fit. It's the bottom part that the poem is about. ~River (P.S. Of course the other review is by my coworker who always forgets to sign. I have to talk to her about that so I don't have to keep explaining this.)

Wow. This is really good. I feel sorta like this (except, of course, opposite genders- I'm a girl, he's a guy.)

Great work!
