i detest this.
absorbing life--
(for all its worth)
processing the pain,
just fall silent into the shadows...
eaten away by the stress of society,
now engulped by the bare bones of the earth..
nothing to show for yourself but a large stone and a few wilting
flowers from days gone by..
solitude and rejection just push--
and push
and push...
UNTIL ITS ALL TO MUCH...
UNTIL YOU GIVE INTO THE PRESSURE EXERTED...
UNTIL YOU LOOSE IT ALL AND LET THEM CRY IN AWE THAT THEY COULD PUSH
YOU THAT FAR.
leaving me red-eyed and alone...
so much pain,
a cut that never stopped bleeding.
five years...
five years to this day since i saw you for the last time.
its all my fault--
the more i attempted to make you feel better,
the deeper the blade sunk into your heart.
let me put away the past...
why do you haunt me so..

pain... pain is our newfound friend.. i usually write of things that happen to me, spiritually or physically. this is no exception...
joe... ENGUPLED ENGUPLED ENGUPLED ENGUPLED ENGUPLED ENGUPLED!!!! take that you feindish profectionsist.. if it wasn't a word, i don't think i'd use it!!! besides.. i'm just a little girly-girl.. i romp through the kiddie section of barns n nobles.. i can write my own english if i do so feel like it..
I like the word-- has different meanings than 'engulfed'. Zowie, zoe, how do you manage to write such disturbing stuff? I haven't been near this angsty in years.
resp:2 have it yer way then, I'll just chock it up next to "brunsert" O / O /_ \____/
people tell me its my age.. besides.. i feel as though if i face pain, i won't live in my head off of lies and pointless smiles.. i guess i'm just not a colorful person... i like brunsert.. you have to admit thats a good one..
Why..? how old are you, zoe? I would suppose there is a difference in seeing things as they are and things as they can be. The latter is often an inspiration for change.
how old do you think i am??? i don't know if i told anyone if they'd beleive me... i know joe still has trouble.
(linked to the new poetry conf)
I don't guess people's ages in cyberspace, Zoe-- there is too little evidence of age here besides stereotypes. I'm frequently surprised at what I find. I wouldn't know, because my guess could be totally off.
lets just say that i'm far <extremely far> from my death bed and most people my age lack feeling, a realistic approach, and complete mind... thats rather obvious...
teens or twenties, right?
I'd say 13or 14, myself.
gee thanks brighn... perhaps its my lack of maturity...
.... bare bones of the earth .... Zoe (if I may be so familiar, no offense intented), but really you'r going to have to write something that I dont like .... MAy I put up a shrine to your works :)
Aww, just tell us how old you are..I won't hold it against you.
you might as well. They probably won't stop pestering untill you do.
maybe I should just shut up =}
I know how old she is... Old enough.
what julie said... response to 14: all i do is put myself to paper.. i'll try though..
oh, come on. I like my perceptions to be changed. I'm quite curious, but it's your prerogative.
spiritually, i've been here atleast since the druids.. if not a little before.. physically... well.. i'm much younger...
What's wrong with you people? Don't you know it's impolite to ask a lady how old she is?
It's not impolite when they bring the topic up... zoe said, "people tell me its [that is, her ability to write angst] my age." I think it's fair to ask what her age is, given that statement. It's impolite to keep pressing the issue when somebody has declind to answer a question, though, which she's done, so can we all move along now?
Right!
yeah yeah
