Description this is for you.
        for all of you.


for those who are but are not.

for those who believe love is just a chemical reaction.

for those who are nothing but static on the mainstream radio.

for those who will never know forever.

for those who live in the highs and lows of the roller-coaster ocean breeze.

for those who hurt themselves because they're afraid of hurting anyone else.

for those whose cries have been drowned by the summer rain.

for those who have been mistaken for God.

for those who battle a thousand soldiers of themselves just to find who they really are.

for those who are nothing but natural disasters.

for those who sink somewhere between electric blue oceans and shimmering rainbows of euphoria.

for those whose insanity makes poetry - and those whose poetry drives them insane.

for those who are weighed down by gravity.

for those who have found equilibria in a heart that is caught in a chain reaction of passionate apathy.
        
for those who wait for the classroom telephone to ring their eulogy.

for those who think God is just another love song.
        
for those who are nothing but needle eyes and inkless words.
        
for those who open the windows when it's raining, just to hear the whole world cry.
        
for those who leave and never return.
        
for those who forget it all on the ride home.
        
for those who love - and those who are loved.
                
for you.


stand up.
        stand up against yourself.
and breathe.
        breathe it all out.
because tonight,
        no one has to bleed
        to feel alive.

Is it also for those whose hearts threaten to swallow them whole? And those who fear they're the only one?

Maybe a line in there about how it's also for those you've forgotten. Ouch, right? Might be a neat idea. I like this. There may be a few trite moments in there ("those who will never know forever" sounds a trifle emo), and I think the physical form of the thing could use some playing with, but I like it.

t-writes-poems In reply to cattieloves [2010-05-28 00:09:32 +0000 UTC]

Those are beautiful lines, thank you. :]
And the line about those who have been forgotten is a good idea, I really like it! Hmm...
As for the form, I played around with that a lot, especially spacing and whatnot. But when I submitted it, dA messed it up quite a bit, so I had to simplify it a lot. :[ Oh well.
Anyway, thank you so much for your honesty and your suggestions!

Argh, I hate it when that happens. Luckily I haven't had too much difficulty with it, myself; somehow most of my shaping tends to be preserved. Usually I have to shift around a few things, but I haven't run into anything that utterly wrecks the poem yet.

That came so close to making me break down in tears. I've no words. Beautiful, poignant... perfect? I especially love the line "for those who open the windows when it's raining, just to hear the whole world cry" reminds me of my "opening the windows on New Year's Eve, just to hear the whole world sing, but for a moment". Both. And all your lines. Wonderful! and

Beautifully executed writing, the flow is consistent, the imagery unique yet engages most any person who reads it.
It really struck a chord with me, like so many pieces of your writing do, I very much recognize parts as things I've had to face lately, I love the message you end with especially, it's a very important one we need to remember more.
