[hometext] => *Catharsis - an outlet or purging of extreme emotions. To be honest this is one of the best poems I have ever written. The middle stanza has nothing to do with the rest of the poem. This was written when I was manic and a bit drunk.*
[bodytext] => Discontent, disrespected, distant Unmotivated by the very things I fear Looking for any means of catharsis Whatever the cost Whatever the outlet Whether good or bad Weeping on a pendulum of depressed emotions Rocking back and forth on this uncertain sea Saddened, yet pressing onward For a smile or word of gratitude From the multitudes of zombie-like peers Chanting the analogous consumer slogan (Brainwashed) Dreary oh the drudgery every depressed meter Met with the gazes of the pedophiliac masses Within the codge of this revolving earth Spinning toward its ultimate destruction From whatever pointless religion or philosophy You cling to or adhere to, To satisfy your maimed heart My eyes are a gaping wound Screaming all that I am incapable of Slapping to the ground the tears descend Or threaten to at my own thoughtless indescretion Nauseated by scenes of exuberance, Yet weary of my mouth set in a grim line Catharsis, the word rolls over my tongue like honey Slitting that crucial vein Or swallowing mountains of pills Those concepts make me quiver dreamily Catharsis, I must do something to allay these fears I can't fight anymore on my lonesome [comments] => 3 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 48 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
