Life Poems

Real Life

another night of tossing and turning unable to sleep in this journey knowing fully landfall is imminent, i brace myself for the moment!
running around in circles i move around hypnotized unable to sit down in place unable to do anything meaningful;
waking up to the start of a new day, i wonder how long to go before the day of the reckoning;
i think it's still dawn but i really don't know, time flew so fast, i can't remember a thing;
i sat down to take a good look at me, but my eyes couldn't see myself; i started to think about tomorrow, but my mind got stuck in present;
everyone keeps talking, yet i don't hear a thing; i wonder what it's like to live i wonder what more should i do, to live life, a real life;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - alternate ending - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
everyone keeps talking, yet i don't hear a thing; everyone keeps dreaming a lot, yet i dream of only life, a real life that is;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. - Anais Nin
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed - Corita Kent

  1. Poetry is deeper than just writing, I can feel the authors pain, feeling lost in the world can break you but you have to go on and try to make things better. Love your writing.
