Not really where I am in my life now, but it definitely captures where I've been in the past. [bodytext] => Steady, steady like a drum
Quell the chaos as it comes
Keep the rhythm, keep the pace
Never let them see your face

Hide these songs inside your head
Peaceful melodies instead
Full of hope and love and grace
But never let them see your face

Beats go slowly, never change
Until you’re all alone again
Skipping murmurs now can grow
Cracks creep up from down below

By yourself, you hit the floor
Grief seeping from every pore
The lyrics burst from deep within
A song so sad it cannot win

It’s all to much you tell yourself
To keep these songs up on a shelf
But one by one again they come
Steady, steady like a drum [comments] => 3 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 48 [informant] => stellar [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Steady, steady like a drum
Quell the chaos as it comes
Keep the rhythm, keep the pace
Never let them see your face

Hide these songs inside your head
Peaceful melodies instead
Full of hope and love and grace
But never let them see your face

Beats go slowly, never change
Until you’re all alone again
Skipping murmurs now can grow
Cracks creep up from down below

By yourself, you hit the floor
Grief seeping from every pore
The lyrics burst from deep within
A song so sad it cannot win

It’s all to much you tell yourself
To keep these songs up on a shelf
But one by one again they come
Steady, steady like a drum

While I'm not exactly sure what it is about (that is not a bad thing) this poem has an excellent flow. Maybe I'll see the analgoies / metaphor next time. My brain farts a lot. Take care,

Tim

had a nice beat to it, could make it into a song, feels like one though. felt soothing and somewhat 'pounding' in a way, nice job. take care
