Sorry I haven’t been around much I have been busy…trying to draw two dark tower pictures, two slipknot pictures, a shadowpsychos album cover art sketch an my son started big boy school (lol) on monday and my daughter isn’t sleeping in the day…so I am basically falling asleep before finishing anything :( but man made pro plus! so hopefully i’ll finish something soon lol.

Opium- my eyes

I’m not blind

my vision is torn wide open

why is it i see it all

while you’re left second guessing?

tucked up in your box, is that jealousy you’re confessing?

problem is – you are you

and this trouble you feel – is me

I’m driven by angst- I’m diamond

when i cross that line, doing wrong

it’s still better than anything you proceed to do

you’re never lucid enough

to whistle through the clouded water of my dreams

I’m an idiot child with behaviour so spilt

raging, never left caressing your screams

my words are flames, hotter underneath the surface

scarred more than they appear to be

my demons are on edge too much

to try to put them out

so, you’ll reap what you’ve sewn

in your futile attempts to degrade me

you’ll be broken, frozen over

’cause you’re the one that’s still not chosen

so sew up your lips and listen, quick

you can’t work me over without that knife in your palm

you might as well twist it in your own face

and hope for your mothers sake

that the mortician don’t forget to embalm

singing ashes to ashes we all fall down

but never low enough to hit you

stick to what you’re good at you two faced cunt

while i continue to perfect myself and embrace the madness

you can die regretting, forever hating

i can say I’ve lived my life- golden

truly taken the meaning behind the illusions

uniquely shaken it up

- I’ve lived, and I’ve learnt

    There will always be those who want to put others down that they might feel better about themselves.

    SP…you’ve lived and you’ve learnt…so have we all…we have learned that you continue to be an incredible poet…albeit most times dark. I voted that I like this one…thank you for taking time to compose and share…hope things soon get settled for you so that you are able to contribute more once again…thank you…

    interesting poem

  • TommyP on Sep 15, 2010

    I think sometimes I write to work through a problem. Sometimes a phrase I’ll come up with teaches me something about myself. Why it never came to me before, I’ll never know, but I’m glad that it did while writing about it! Nice piece!! Think I liked this best:I’m driven by angst- I’m diamond
