[hometext] => last stanza is because I do not see enough comments not for me but for others
[bodytext] => Take the lid
off of this coffin
dead words need to spoken
but it will not change the way you feel
bags of water on display
mentally twisting
as the music plays
it is my time to dance
this Idiots Waltz is repetitive and no thrill
nice to see you
again
though you will never be a
friend
that is the way the game is played
stay in your lane and do your time
I told you something
I found out
you claim you know
what it is all about
why people act like charlatans
just blows my mind
we are all pretenders and actors
the whole is a stage
some of us hide the pain
others can barely contain the rage
I may be off balance
but I am ready for the challenge
all I need is a partner
for this Idiot waltzing
And The Band Played On...
the days are getting longer
emotionally we are getting colder
why are so split on every thing
it is really hard to understand
nice to see ya again
there is no hope that we ever will be friends
I live in a glass house
and I am doing the best that I can
when life gets overwhelming
and dark things fill my mind
I misdirect my animosities
by flowing on a YDPC line
Icebergs melt on tropical seas
its unknown what happens when you die
manic depressions my partner tonight
and I am glad to be alive
they say the end is coming
well they say that every year
if YPDC gives you comfort
you should read and comment while you scroll there

A brilliant piece that is most current and represents the reality of humankind. I saw myself writing this directly from my thoughts of late.
It need be said and this is one of your best.
Nobody likes a taker. For god sake people give another some joy and hope. Nothing good comes from a me, me, world.
Amazing flow!
Color me impressed!!! |

Wait! What? No comment is acomment, after all. Well...I suppose.
I could say more but stating it publicly probably isn/'/t wise. I/'/ll send ya/'/ a pm sometime.
"nice to see ya again
there is no hope that we ever will be friends"
A great poet I read wrote that. :) I sincerely love your poetry.
Thank-you,
Tim |

Hmmmm Did you just tell me how you really feel?
Some will say there is no sense in kicking a dead horse, but what sense is there in kicking a live one...unless maybe you/'/re riding it.
Sheesh, my mind is all over the place today.
This is a good read. |

I am sorry to comment to this,
while not commenting to all the rest.
Always look on the bright side of life,
Brian said.
And I have to wonder what he meant.
I just never did get poetry,
before reading this one perfect poem.
Peace! |

Ha ha. The title gave me a laugh and a pretty comical visual. I think it’s fair to say we all come here to unburden ourselves in some way.
Many of us not only share our own stuff, but also actively engage with others who come to share.
Some choose to leave their thoughts on ypdc like they are writing only for themselves...a diary or journal entry of sorts. Maybe that is enough for them, and so be it.
Ya get what ya give, ya dig?
Plenty of givers on this site and no shortage of quality writing; yours included. Keep shining.

This place is like a community, and like any community there is a complete mix of different people, all with their own ideas, ideals and beliefs.
For me personally, it is nice to know there is a whole world of poets out there.
In real life, most people don/'/t understand my work, My family certainly don/'/t, so it/'/s nice to connect on some level with like minded people.
Nice write
