[If you need me] I'll be the puddle outside your highrise

By Dejected_Worth

We. Were born into Eden...
And still fled our hometown
    In hopes of grandeur
           In the big city lights...
Were we always so blind?

Purgatory spit [us] out
    into the land of wasted opportunity...
And we still found a way
                          to waste our opportunity.
I am grateful for this chance to 
      ..Waste my time.. but..


Even. from the 77th floor balcony..
       Heaven still stares down on us.
.....all the way to the ground floor puddle...
                And Hell it is.. as it.. [always was]
Some where just adjacent
                       to the dirty ground above us...
But God is the last one who should judge us.

    ...chasing the great Dream that pops like an overfilled balloon, which in itself reflects the greed of most men. very dramatic write...

  • A former member wrote: beautifully written

  • A former member wrote: The grass is always greener on the other side... Also the concept of Adam & Eve and the garden of Eden, the only logical explanation is that it was designed to be a failure. Hypocrisy is fun right? Meh I have no respect for god, only fictitious character I really can't stand. An outstanding write though, really enjoyed it.
