Description
Down DespairWhy do I try?
when all that I can find, is my own failure?
everytime I pick it up,
It throws itself back again.
staring in my face.
I thought I was good, people told me that I could win the
race.
They lie, you lie, she lied.
Swirling and patient, they circle above.
swooping and falling, they strike my head.
Can you hear me? Scream a little louder.
Can you hear me? Push a little harder.
I try and carve, to make my life be known.
Another worthless dribble, in the pan of nothings
that we all are.
Eat it up, and spit it out.
I thought I was different, a little special.
I'll walk on by, and you won't even notice.
Why do I try?
the world will spit in my face
I'd rather be a chronicle of a failure,
then fall against the nothingness
and despair
without my voice, raised screaming

... those who conjure up magic, and bring forth talent, pouring life into their creations ...
... try only to meet expectations of yourself, and noone elses'...

/me thanks everyone for their encouraging comments. I believe that I may take a break from writing poetry, and work on coding for awhile. Maybe I'll find some new inspiration along the way. Thanks guys.

I don't have anything as deep as the others said,
but its a damned k001 poem.
Really nice flow to it. : )

i don't know why you try
but i'm glad you do

it's a hard feeling to express
i'm glad you did

phantom, many a time have i been rated upon what soil my own lay, and i tell you, be not ashamed, nor be with clamity in thought of what you are to be, but be at peace with your conscience to the left, the halo, and listen not the the horn on your right shoulder. Be as you are not in the poem, but show those who care not, that if one is sundered, only time heals their wounds,
Good tidings freind,
TheDeadPoet

when you're unique
when you're special
when you're different
they don't recognize you
let alone like you
beautiful poetry
