[hometext] => i'm a high school student and i wrote this poem in may (2002). it is actually an 'echo poem' to kathleen raine's "unloved". i went through about 4 drafts or so of small changes until i came to this. that's all for this, feel free to email me if you have questions.
yeah and unfortunetly, the alignment get messed up when it's submitted...not all of the poem stays aligned along the left side (and the alignment is my favorite part of this poem...makes it more original, more my own). ok so if you're reallyreally interested, ill send a copy of the actual poem (w/ my alignment) but i sorta doubt anyone will want it that bad...alright now that's all. [bodytext] => i fall void of the feeling of being loved there is nothing left for me. i must get out of here i do not belong an outcast. my free will digs my own grave as i do as i please no inhibitions, restrictions, barriers the causes of my exhaustion that no one feels as i do unable to go on. i am on my own a lone cloud drifting on a clear day traveling the world you’re all oblivious to my true presence so i fly high above you not because i am better but to get away from you searching for a sanctuary stable ground. i’ll fly with no boundaries limitless continuous immortal. nothing left inside me a child’s hungry stomach abandoned home empty. i have only my surroundings My Sanctuary. perfection. though where one would not expect to find… only perfection does not exist cannot be obtained achieved found. where undiscovered octupi wander amidst the cruel glaciers of Everest a hundred thousand light years away witness to more than i could ever hope surviving utterly alone. i fade sweeping across the infinite black velvet i’ll disappear slowly, but surely never to return.
