living like the sick and afflicted

Relationship Woe's

Since i dont want to live like the sick or afflicted, like the dumb or addicted, i lie to myself, i second guess my own intellegence and FAIL

I live like the blind and misdirected, and leave myself vunerable and unprotected

I find myself trying to justify my effort, when its realy only half a*s'ed. Trying to make it complex when its realy only a simple task.

Its a task that would take all of me, but since ive been left fragmented, its hard to pull myself together

so whatever satisfies a peice of me seems whole as long as i dont focus on the spaces imbetween that are left emptie and cold

when i stop and look at me

i do live like the sick and afflicted it seems i cant keep up with time im left behind

trying to get a handle on it

instead of getting over or

on with it

you break me down when i feel good

you break me down when i try to be strong

you break me down when my mind is clear

you break me down when i feel no fear

you break me down

                        and down

                                and down

and i become torn apart and split.

I should have never given you all of me to do as you see fit.

because all that you left for me to use is

broken

vunerable

afflicted

and

confused

 

 

 

 

so what

Are you referring to a person or an ailment, such as depression? I think this was really good none-the-less! I'm not even one to talk, but there are slight grammer issues, but I'm sure you knew that! Anyways, I like how the poem is written, to express the downward spiral that the speaker is feeling.


Keep up the good work!
