i light my matted hair on fire
just to watch it burn
then airbrush it away to see life in the embers
coated in agony and filth i swim
in mud and tar i lay
this ocean carries me to a darker place
where sleep is nothing and nothing bare
i watch as an airbrush is before me again
and take into it my dreams and whispers
till all thats left is crossroads
and chills that tell me im still alive
alive but well?

This is a wonderdful little read. I would have to say you just made the poem into questions about what and when and where your life will go. It's not really sad just full of unanswered questions. Well done and well said.

i know what you mean. when i'm happy, there is a part of me that wonders when the other foot will fall. sometimes things seem too perfect. its only human to do that i beleive, happiness bores us after too long. drama is always interesting. i love that aspect you captured here, the torn soul, its magnificent.

Personally...
I do that a lot. I write a lot of sad things when I'm actually quite content with how I'm feeling at the moment. Nothing wrong with that. As for this piece, I like it. It says a lot to me on a personal level. And I enjoyed the imagery that it created in my head. =)

Well. Umm. It makes me happy, but i don't know why. love the imagery. Love the meanings, and good flow.
