Desperate Times

By Shane

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know I feel sad, But I don’t want to die The feelings I feel Make me want to cry… But I can’t The reason I live is the reason I’ll die A foolish young wonderer wondering why Who am I? My friends will come to me and they’ll sail away Lifting me up and lighting the day I know I am lost but what can I do With all this time? My life has lost meaning But the meaning is there I feel it go through me Like the wind in my hair Where’s my mind I love the feeling of sun on my face The comfort of emptyness in a wide open space Yes I love life Now go on without me I won’t waste your time Perhaps you’ll love me And all the things beautiful Read in between the lines My feelings get left behind, Blown away are the thoughts from my mind Desperate times, I’m living inside Desperate timesDanw - 'I had a real sad today so I figured I'd put it down on paper, and here it is, it isn't especially pretty or of high quality.' 'But the love that I feel is the love that I know, So I send you these messages so you can too know' Written March 9th, 2002 © on Mar 08 2002 10:32 AM PST   10 • 0
