losing what was already lost

By Crashoverride

been gone for so long
how can i still stay strong
its all up to me and i know it
but sometimes i really cant show it
i love my enemies but i hate their disguise
the sky is dark and so is my soul
the sole reason for this is to consider
my minds a river, but its cold i must shiver

i dont recognize this world around me
all looks so grey and bleak
until i begin to speak
then i enter the internal
writing in my journal helps me burn eternal
dont put me out
just go away and let me pout
nothing stays the same and nothings lame
your ideas are based on the past
they will never last
but they are never destroyed
they are only differently employed
twisted and contorted until its no longer supported
its bound to happen to us all
i just want to be left alone
maybe then i can figure it all out
but as it ends i still have doubt
never ending trends bend time creating space
im interested for a second but then i want to erase
ideas flow from mind to hands
my work, though, is the kind to ban
because they dont want you to see the truth
it might go against theirs
and instead of existing in harmony, im flawlessly howeling
showering in blood and guts to cleanse myself
why so dark tonight?
tomorrow will just be light
ive learned to predict the future
but the problem still exists: what do i do here?

    it can be easy to dwell in the past, but in my experience, very few times that i have tried to "fix" something "broken" have i actually succeeded. usually i just end up ruminating endlessly looking for the friend in me to show me what i need. or sometimes i forget it, or suppress it, and end up facing a similar problem in the future that seems to be almost worse because i had previously thought it was solved or at least that i had moved on from it. for me i like to dig deeper than the surface of what upsets me and it usually boils down to a fear of being afraid of loss, death, worthlessness, or whatever you want to call it. what im trying to say is that im not sure that there is a way to really fix any of this. instead, i like to view it as another piece of this vast complex puzzle i call myself. thank you for welcoming me too, i was surprised to see positive reactions from my writing. i have about 300 poems ive written this year, most of em arent as dark as the two i posted up here, but much more inspirationally dark. ill start putting more up. thank you all for your thoughts and existence.

    Peppered with guarded optimism, the bitter stew becomes almost inviting.
