Me Smiling Back At Me

Someone give me something
Here I am begging for anything
I have to have it before I make what will do it
Been far too long for me to start now
With no shirt on my back the sun even starts to feel cold
There aren't enough stars to hide behind
And enough air to slip beneath
As the sky changes and the buzz grows more animal
What am I to do
If I never have before I know then never differs from now
With all this time before I see the light again
Trust me when I say that I try
Not when I say I want to
Not when I expect happiness like a rain
With enemies like God purpose sheds its comfort
Pain tastes better than fear but it never is as filling
So here I stand with a gun pointed at my head
Toe to toe with a mirror looking back at me
Only so someone can kiss me good bye
Surprised if the hot lead finds glass
Detachment holds so much promise like silence
Try not to blink at my own stare
I can't and it feels so good
.when god lets my body be
..from each brave eye will spring a
tree
.all the while my heart shall be
..with the buldge and nuzzle of the
sea

    Hey chewmauro,

    I don't think I've ever read one of your poems before.

    Are you feeling okay?

  • I really liked this, chew. Bravo.
  • I like it. Especially:
