Array ( [sid] => 100557 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Contradiction [time] => 2005-07-08 13:44:56 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Living in a nightmare; afraid to leave the dark.
Wondering why I can't seem to heal my heart.
Tomorrow will be no better than life was today;
Anguish is the forecast, until my dying day.

Wondering why I've condemned myself to this living hell;
Why can't I accept life when all is going well?
My enemy lives within me, so how can I win?
I can't let him out, and I cannot get in.

Wishing for some peace, but relishing the pain;
Wanting to be stable, while acting so insane.
Contraction of goals, playing games with my life;
Each time I am happy, I reinsert the knife.

Living with a madman locked within my mind;
Searching for something that I'm afraid to find.
Death enters with its offer in its hand -
The end of all pain; more peace than I could stand...

Contradiction

Living in a nightmare; afraid to leave the dark.
Wondering why I can't seem to heal my heart.
Tomorrow will be no better than life was today;
Anguish is the forecast, until my dying day.

Wondering why I've condemned myself to this living hell;
Why can't I accept life when all is going well?
My enemy lives within me, so how can I win?
I can't let him out, and I cannot get in.

Wishing for some peace, but relishing the pain;
Wanting to be stable, while acting so insane.
Contraction of goals, playing games with my life;
Each time I am happy, I reinsert the knife.

Living with a madman locked within my mind;
Searching for something that I'm afraid to find.
Death enters with its offer in its hand -
The end of all pain; more peace than I could stand...

This poem practically screams of frustration. The anxiety of not knowing where to turn and the character's inability to fix the problem because to fix it is to break it more. This kind of poetry where the character is emotionally running in circles is difficult to write well, excellent job.
