you.. fill in the blanks!!

By lajeeves

if...__________.
then...___________
but no...____________
and why...___________
these...____________...are beyond my control.
but without...___________
the future is...__________

Ive rewritten this poem a hundred times each time it changes a little
see if you can fill in the blanks with your own words. this is one example but trust me I have many.hope you enjoy it.


if... she were too, as am I
then...joy and peace within
but no...she is not; nor am I
and why...the pain, the fear, regret and guilt
these...addictions, afflictions,repressions, aggressions
all of this sorrow, and unanswered questions...
are beyond my control

but without...all that I have based my self worth so blindly upon
all that I thought made me who I am
all that brought me the truest feelings of peace

the future is...______?

  • A former member wrote: doomed, mine at least

  • A former member wrote: if...a picture paints a thousand words,then you must be blind.but no,you claim you can read me like a book,and why should I doubt you? these fairytale desires are beyond my control,but without you in my heart the future is only a piece of loveless fiction

    if not now, then when? but no joy, no happiness? and why the sunken face? these ills are beyond my control but without hope the future is bleak
