Hand scarred and weary from past struggles,
Of victorious blades and tales desired to be told...
Dwell upon these words of mine,
Listen to my story...
Born into a world of darkness,
My brilliance is left unnoticed,
Too advanced for everyone's liking...
A generation of hip-hop and insecurity,
Inhaling thrills through dollar bills,
Everybody's high, watching time pass by,
And the drug isn't life...
Burdened with unwanted answers to unwanted questions,
I exist, a stranger to all,
With the knowledge and experience of the Ancient Ones...
Government is crumbling,
Media is tyrant over our lives,
The rules are not to love ourselves,
Nor who we want to be...
Innocents killed for the sake of discrimination and hate...
Slaves to Ignorance...
Makes me wonder,
America, the free?
A tired voice amid millions of shouts and demands,
How can I be heard,
If people wish not to listen?
Why speak of love and acceptance,
When everyone is consumed in hatred?
The unbearable sting of tears is present,
My eyes are dry...
Yet, my heart is weeping,
Always crying, lonely lamentations,
Painful recollections, horrors that may come...
You hold me close, claiming you love me,
Father, can't you see?
Your lies are killing me...
My mask is fading,
Happiness is getting hard to feign...
Soon, there will be nothing to hide behind,
I am left vulnerable, exposed,
For all to see,
The wretch that I truly am...
The violin has cease its shrill melody,
The winds are quiet, there is no fate...
My tale has ended,
No more ramblings to tell...
The pen lies dead and bleeding,
An ebony eddy of hidden expressions...
The rose has wilted into nothing,
But, no matter,
She has always been just that...
Two words of closure scrawled on my canvas,
And with enless tears in my eyes,
I am silent... forever more....
THE END...
~*This is the closing of the doors, my friends. The last 'Poet's Ramblings' of the series, and it was a pleasure writing them! I hope you enjoyed, and maybe found some inspiration, maybe even learned something. A poem is written, not to entertain others, but to aid the poet into healthy release and some sense of sanity... A poem is written to evoke emotions... not to be butchered to find the hidden meaning of the words. That was the purpose of my writing these... for people to read things that dont make any sense, and just... feel. You know, I highly doubt this will be the end of 'Poet's Ramblings'... but, I guess there won't be any for a while... A break, if you will. =).*~
Oh, here I go again... straying away from the point, lol. Simply this: Merci beaucoup for reading and commenting... Everything you do is very much apprecated! All my love! Forever,
Your ever-garrulous flower,
Stephy. *hugs and love for all!*

True. Great poem, too. Pretty much the same is happening here in the UK. Those of us who see it here are basically put into a padded cell of society.
'My mask is fading,
Happiness is getting hard to feign...
Soon, there will be nothing to hide behind,
I am left vulnerable, exposed,
For all to see,
The wretch that I truly am...'
Understood. I have to act like that, too.Otherwise people question and annoy then get angry.
I think the world's going to destroy itself ¬_¬ |

| This poem rings of truth and had the gentle flow that I have come to respect in poetry. Your words I can really relate to as I'm sure many of us *hidden* gems can. Thanks for the tour of my memory, your music played in my ears melodiously! Many Blessings! ~joni~ |

T'was your ramblings that led me to mental channel surfing ... I hope the voice is stilled but never silent. This one seems more focused. Feels more directed ... the early ones were less scripted, bouncing around more covering a myriad of subjects and painting a multitude of images ... Here you are more definative. I like that too ... Thank you for sharing these with us Steph ... they were all amazing!
