Array ( [sid] => 85883 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Proverbial Sunsets [time] => 2005-02-27 06:05:24 [hometext] => it's a lil different...more personal...well....more honest ^_^ always, abraham [bodytext] => I don't even know what I'm doing anymore.
I don't know who I am.
I don't know where I'm going in life.

It all seems so simple so complicated.
My keyboard my pencil my pen my crayons
they're my only condolence to a wasted life.

I see a thousand people.
I see plastic people
paper people
pornographic people
I see love and lovelessness
all in the same day.

I don't even know what to think.
Or how to feel, or how to cope
with everything turning to *****.

So I score a coffee,
I smoke a cigarette
I curse humanity
in whispers
and sweep
people's trash
in black plastic bags

And I get home
And I sit and I watch tv
And I eat pop tarts
and drink soda
and play video games.

And I write...

Because I don't know what else to do.
Because no matter what I do
or who I'm with
I feel alone.

And the words,
the words remind me
that I am alive
that i can still fall in love.
That I can still breathe easy
That I can
hate everything about myself
and still watch the proverbial sunset
stealing the empty, white space. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 171 [topic] => 48 [informant] => iodinelove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Abraham, this was really good. I really felt the isolation here and the sadness. Much peace to you.
