Nails

Every single feeling I feel right now put into a poem..

Steel nails flying high overhead .

Staring down, watching, waiting.

Once they fall, my world will finally end

Leaving the others questioning, negating.

Your energy is so strong,

and mine so helplessly weak.

The demons in the world swallowing the color.

Leaving my dwelling body faded and antique.

I can smell the fire, hear the screams.

Touch the ashes and feel the emptiness.

Lifeless souls walking nowhere but down.

Souls wishing not to be found.

This is where I belong, is what I say.

On the other side of the shaded window.

Trying to see in to the life I will never have.

Every time missing what I always wished to grab.

I don't want sympathy any longer.

Just waiting for the record to stop skipping.

The nails can stop watching and finally fall.

And my hands, so cold, can finally stop gripping.

 

Author's Note

I'm accepting my life will never be what it should...

I see there is always this negative tone in your words..
but dear you just cant predict what will happen ..times thats the beauty of life
i can tell i ve witnessed it ways..times it looks so dark and ugly
but suddenly it turns into the greatest beauty you ever saw,just no one knows
those nails you talk about coming down to hit you,they may hit anyone but you
you,feeling so weak and all else so strong,this weakness could be to your benefit
times after seeling this fatigue you sudenly called to wake up and stand so tall
so strong,to only discover so many traits in you in your favor you never knew them before to exist
no one could know ,those souls you talk about fading to nowhere and you fading with them
this nowhere could be the most beautiful place you could ever see
from that window you say ,you see the life you would always want
but who told you this life will be fit for you
all probably something so nice and as a surprise is waiting for you
around a corner here and there..you could never say
just keep your head up and hoping ..smiling and laughing
life needs to not be taken seriuosly..just laugh at it
and she will come crying after you,just so you be pleased
i loved the thoughts here
lovely write..

I relate with that thought..but perhaps theres a difference between what we'd like our life to be and what it should be. i suppose its all for the best. Love this one.keep writing

So dreary and discouraging. Surrendering to the inevitable,
and what seems impossible could be possible when the
white flag is raised.. A sadly beautiful write. There is always
hope….
