There is nothing but you.
Look around- they are there for you,
as you are for them.
We feed off each other.
We are animals.
Say it.
I
am
a
beast.
Good.
There is only 'evil', as it is called
and when you have realised this and accepted this,
you will see truth
in all its grotesque grandour.
it isn't pleasant, no one said it would be.
but it is there, you can;t deny this.
you despise it,
but why?
because others will look down on you?
because your partner might leave you?
you might lose your high paying job?
Your material posessions?
Lose custody of your children?
Well, yes. These reasons and others.
But, I ask you,
What good are these things if the truth is constantly nagging
constantly carousing your every impulse
I ask you- a distorted mind, do you have one?
There is no 'perfect'.
Everything come at a price,
hard work leads no where.
Certainly not to satisfaction-
more work, less satisfaction,
more goals, more goals
more goals more goals more goals.
more goals
It is simple!
The more you have, the more you want.
If one has nothing, one wants nothing.
and we are nothing
and there is nothing!
So sit
and meditate
and embrace this inconceivably monstrous hell,
you have to face it, like I said before
Don't open your eyes, not if you don't want-
but you must be in proximity
that most call home,
that you call "mostly okay"
the one scientists dubbed
Earth
Sit.
Meditate on this and on love.
Love yourself and see that there
is
only
you.

Not sure if this is what is required for the contest, but I was pretty deeply depressed when I wrote it.

This was written when I had that 3 days hangover after the Christmas party. It affected me mentally pretty deeply. Can you tell? XD
Yeah- I wil add that to my list of ways to mentally destroy Stephy P.

Hmmm... this one is sounding kinda preachy.

I respect your opinion, but this is always going to be as raw and intense as it likes.
It was written when I was feeling the most awful effects of alcohol, therefore however crap people says it is, I can't/won't change it.
Thanks for stopping by!

love what you did with the last line
it's nice that you wrote this...your thoughts
I hope you felt okay...just like your last line
'there is only you.'

I wrote this on the same 'Notepad' file as 'Acohol Abuser, Absolute Loser'. It was called Drunken Drawl. Not a happy time for me, lol.
The last line is not meant to be positive- it is about individualism and sefishness and using this to further one's own gains. Not pleasant I know, but it's realistic I sometimes think. lol
Once again, thank you for your continued support and taking the time to read this long poem! <3
