The distorted inner workings of an enigma such as me
are the soiled broken remnants of what we used to be.
The image of our broken past is a labyrinth of pain,
carelessly dropped into a chasm that is our heart's remains.
We're left as a jaded phantom our levity crushed to not,
our intentions always unbiased, oblivious to this mirage
of the "happily ever after", that joke deserves applause...
We quietly yearn to feel that joy discussed with so much zeal
I guess they neglected to tell us that such emotions are not real.
My parents sensed my troubles, and they wanted them to go away,
so they didn't even hesitate to have a shrink tamper with my brain.
They reduced me to a fragile ghost that has since began to fade,
we now are nearing nothingness and still they want a fray.
For they think that we are just and "I" and nothing more than "me"
They think that we are crazy but they simply cannot see.
If we were just and "I" instead of being "all of us"
then we would really lose our mind and then you'd all be fucked...

I really don't have a lot to say about this poem, I was bored out of my mind and I just kinda started to write. This is just what happened I guesss lol.

hm.....very interesting,
I like the deepness of this poem!
Good Luck! -
You use a lot of descriptive language! YAY for imagery! I did, however notice a few misspellings 'remnents" should be "remnants" and senced should be sensed. Do you mean "happily ever after" or am I just not up to speed with new lingo? Other than that, great job. Thank you for entering and good luck! -Liz
