Blackened HaloShow poetry

What can I say, when I have yet to know myself, what can I type when I have yet to learn the reason why I write. Life is wonderous but yet it's scary. You never know whats going to happen next, I mean right now someone could be behind you with a knife, just waiting, waiting for that perfect moment to take your life. The phone may ring to tell you of a new birth or that your sister was in a horrible car crash. Do we ever really know everything that is going to happen? Do we ever really want to know? Have you ever walked in a park, on the beach, or in a busy cityscape at night and it just feels like your the only person. The only one there, but yet you can see everyone else, all the saddness, the homelessness, the pain. Have you ever seen a baby cry for food, when it's been left alone for weeks or seen a 4 year old boy picking food out of the trash. I haven't and nor will I ever say I have untill I do, but for some reason I can still feel compassion and pain for these people. I still feel like I am one of them. Perhaps it's because I am one of those people, like everyone we are all the same, we may dress differently, have different amounts of money, but deep down we are all the same.

~*~*From LotR:~*~*

The world is changed.
I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the earth.
I smell it in the air.
Much that once was...is lost.
For none now lives...

*************
Dedicated to all those people who feel left out
~~~No Difference~~~
Small as a peanut,
Big as a giant,
We're all the same size
When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,
Poor as a mite,
We're all worth the same
When we turn off the light.

Red, black, or orange,
Yellow or white,
We all look the same
When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way
To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out
And turn off the light!

    Hey you! I haven't seen you in forever! Thanks for your comment on my poem... How you been?
  • Blackened Halo on March 24, 2006
    Well, Im just saying goodbye, you can kick me from the group if you want, but I've made a decision concering my life, and so I thought I should at least say farewell before I leave.

    Eh, I'm doing a little better, not much though. I just don't know what to do anymore, don't know how to handle things, I'm trying really hard not to relapse and cut myself again, but it feels like the only way to deal with things anymore.

    Hey Beautiful. How are you doing? Not too good huh? Well, even though our group is absolutely dead nowadays, Doesn't mean I'm not here for you, because I AM! Alright? I'm here to talk about anything. Though I'm like, a few years younger, you know I've obviously been through a tremendous amount of things, and can relate to probably a lot of things you are going through. Hit me up lovely...
