freedom

they say in life
love is all you need

they say in life
money leads to greed

i say in life
love is too often said
and rarely ever meant

i say in life
greed never goes away
but money can be spent

no matter what they pray
no matter what i say

life is what you make of it

you

the filth,the gluttony,the hate,the despisement,the passion,the love,the greed,the want,the need,the insane,ripping,gutless,vengence,the fury,the anger,the rage,the ever-lasting vanity,the lies,the deciet,the relentless whining and infuriating pity.

you can let it all go

you can

no depression
no regression
no seperation
or aggression

just freedom from your self hate.
your self loathing.
your vanity and even shyness.
all of the things that bother you most

no you don't need anyone to help you
you are a big boy now
just take a deep breath
and see all of it wash away with the tide
let it go streaming out into the world
the words falling into one another
into an endless pool of meddled letters
and breathe out.

  • wow you really don't like me

    lol, i guess i should back off some since alot of what you wrote about in those powerful but harsh phrases applies to me. i don't have mommy's car though and i never did. i really have had more to deal with so maybe this isn't me. it's still powerful and harsh and raw. lots of bitterness seeping from the wounds of anger. it is an interesting read though.

    • lol of course its not you personally... though if you think it applies and it makes you feel bad.....

      that is why i write poetry, not only to let my emotions flow, but to make others feel.

  • I think this shows true power. Good job

    Yay! This is neato. It is more like abuse than an answer though. Usually when people freak out it's because they've run out of solutions. It is funny though, kick a man while he's down and all.
