TouchedByViolet Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) Recently, I read a short piece of writing about cheating from silic0ntoad. It inspired me to write a poem about how I am feeling. I found working on the piece liberating and positive for me. If something is on your mind you may consider putting a creative piece of writing together for yourself. The poem is titled Where I Live I live in a world where the sun is set My eyes are closed and on the walls dance a silhouette In a home where everything is mine and nothing is real I build towers to protect my heart with carbon steel The distant dawn may come so I must outlast the night I may not be strong enough but I tell myself everything will be alright From this slumber I wish to arise anew But I do not know why I feel the way I do Given in an unknown pact my mind is not my own But how can that be when I feel all alone? No, no, no! these words must be a lie Can’t you see all these shadows nearby? Much time has passed inside this loony bin Outside would I even know how to fit in? What will I do if I make it through this illusionary eclipse? The taste of salt is never far from my lips I search endlessly here in this vast ocean If only the tide would deliver me some magic potion Glimpses of life I nostalgically remember of A time and season when hope filled me with love I live in a world where I hope to discover With eyes open, a place as sweet and free as a perfect lover Edited October 7, 2010 by TouchedByViolet
