I disagree distance haha that was one of my least favourite poems I've written!! Let's have another challenge to erase my memory of it!!! XDXD let's do what I suggested!!...lurking or what lies beneath ( you can interpret them the same or different!)
I started this awhile ago. Finished it today, then tweaked it to fit the topic. What You Are I am the lurker with nowhere to look. I am the leaf who catches no sun. I am the thief, though nothing I took. I am the task that cannot be done. I am the map that leads you astray, I am the lion who has no mane, I am the toll that no one can pay, I am the bitter, hard feeling of pain. I am the watch that's never on time, I am the flower, wilted and dead, I am the nickle, when you need a dime, I am the tears you tried not to shed. I am the sword without a sheath, I am the soul that lost it's way, I am the truth that no one believes, I am the night, when you long for day. I am obstacle that life throws at you. I am the poem that leaves you no clue. But beneath the surface, if you could just see, What you are, is what you should be.
Nice irin! Brb, I'm gonna shower, then write a poem about lurking out of place underneath the surface... Or something like that.
Wow irin! Quick and amazing. I take back my bragging about being fast! Lol. Mine's done but i dont want to go after that!!
Blank stares I long to be alone, for the tone of longing lonely hums the loudest in the company of others. Smothered in myself, a wealth of thought, vague and shifting, lifting toes and clothing life and love in silence. Real is hard to grasp, after lasting days of quiet, try to bring my thinking home, alone and lonely here and there aware of only thoughts that drift and sway away at asking, queries scatter in my brain. And i can only answer In blank stares.
Here's what I've come up with: Wishes I had just three wishes, But I never wished all three, For first I wished for death, And that was the last of me. I've gone under the surface, Through the face of the earth, I cry I shouldn't be here, I show them what I'm worth. But my attempts are futile, I won't ever escape, I'm lurking under the surface, Taking no particular shape. I feel so lost, so out of place, I'm not dead, yet I belong here, So dreadfully, terribly sad, Yet I can't shed a tear. Be careful what you wish for, Whether happy or blue, Because you can never tell, That wish just might come true.
