umm...Poetry?

i have an old notebook that i used to write in, sorta like
a journal but not so serious. It was while i was going
through the worst period in my life, last year. reading
through it, about 99% is gibble, but then there is that 1%
that i kinda think is actually decent. well, i don't know
who would exactly read it or how i would feel if others
criticized any of it but everyone on this mb seems to be
about the brightest fucking people with tastes fairly
similar to my own, here in cyberspace, and since i don't
know any of you personally so it's not like your view of me
would change much because of any of it. anyhow, i feel i
need to get this out and have someone else tell me what they
think.

March 16th, 2001;

Can you understand that we'll live out our efficiency
someday down the road in our lives? Gone in history's pages
of those books they taught in school that ya read at school,
yo. Remember when what happened yesterday was just a memory
of what ya used to be? But who you are now can be revealed
behind door #3. And you're afraid of what it might be. All
the while singing like you're really happy when you're
really scared. Crazy doesn't even apply to you now. Though
how desperate you might seem, destiny's aspiring to higher
dreams set by minds unseen comically mimivking their neural
network wiring, multiple consistency upon receiving the
ratings of vitality at it's weakest point before all out war
between two loco dawgs, ese.

i'd like to post more, they are all pretty much like that
one, in chronological order.

yeah same here... I find it really hard to write about
happiness, and I'm happy now... depression and sadness
however you just need to write about... I find it
theraputic... I guess when you're happy you don't need to do
anything, cause you're already happy... when you're sad,
writing it down might be a bit of a therapy for it...

tried to write about love ya know but it just doesn't work
for some reason, i don't know why not.

I've wrote some stuff about love, stuff that I thought was
really good at the time, but if I took it out now it
probably wouldn't be... but I even think most of that was
inspired by failed love and that kinda stuff, so it's still
the inspiration of sadness and stuff...

i haven't even been in a long enough or serious enough
relationship to write about any aspect of love positive or
negative.

feelings, and break ups... and then tv shows and movies have
inspired me and stuff... it's not all about me...

Here is a poem I wrote....
----------------------------------------------

Dark Betrayl

Around, all around, the dark memories gather.
My dread grows as the stroke of death falls against my naked
soul.
It wounds me, and darkly my
vitae drips
to the wicked earth that is my prison.
In numbness I hang my head
while the end of life takes my hand.
Now alone, my blood falls upon bloody eyes.

This is your love

here is one of mine, its kinda silly.

Boredom runs through the veins
While in a room when it rains,
A window the void between wet and dry
While blinding headlights pass on by,
The warmth and comfort in my cell
Is the same warmth and comfort found in hell,
The anxiety builds and before i cried
I passed through the door and went outside.

cool dude here's my poem that is similar but much much
longer than yours...hehe:

April 4th, 2001;

I don't want to be here, not just here but anywhere from
here. I can't do it. Man, I can't do anything. Why should
I go throught with it at all anymore, it's seriously not
worth it. I can't handle it. I don't want it. I can't
take it. I am weak. I am a weed growing throught a crack
in the sidewalk. There is no happiness in this world, no
joy. Only pain and misery exists on this planet. No right
just wrong. No true love, only lust instead. Every moment
spent cringeing in disgust, riddled with guilt by gluttoness
over-induldgence. Seething with fear, brimming wiht hate.
The universe packed so tightly into space, constant pressure
exerted on the smallest amounts of matter. The very fabric
of reality stretched around all of creation. Conciesness
never ceases, for you are the hands on the clock of time.
The stroke of midnight brings doom across the land,
spreading darkness further along, with sadness prevailing
in minds unchanged, molded to be forever the same. Escape
lives to be brought down and taken away, leaving with it any
chance of hope. There is no survival. WATCH CAREFULLY,
THINK LOGICALLY and RESPOND ACCORDINGLY!

K heres my second and last -

A feeling of envy towards the masses
Is a feeling that is felt throughout.
The feeling can change at any give moment
And be granted a new personal route.
Feelings reside in the pits of the soul
Only to be let out once weak,
But when ones strong, they do realize
When that feeling is just a leak.
This process is valuable to understand
Especially during times of ponder,
For when one analyzes demons exist
So let them live no longer.
Now look towards the violet light
And the cyan water it reflects upon.
Remeber how simple everything can be
When one's thoughts are free to run.

"when there is freedom from mechanical conditioning, there
is simplicity." - Bruce Lee

"thinking is not freedom - all thought is partial; it can
never be total. thought is the response of memory and memory
is always partial, because memory is the result of
experience. so, thought is the reaction of a mind
conditioned by experience. know the emptiness and
tranquility of your mind. be empty; have no style or form."
- Bruce Lee

There was a bird upon the snow.
Its foot was hurt this i know.
I gently fed it crumbs of bread.
Then I smashed its little head.
