have you ever felt bad?
…I have

the things we do
the things…

we say

do you know a place
…to hide?
if so
would you please
take me there?
…I hope so

I only ask
Because I do…
Wish to hide

Because I say things all day long
And I fear…

I’m always wrong

This time
I’m not lying

You need not stay
I only wish to pray

Look at this boy
He killed himself
He was exposed
He was alone

Just a place to hide

so that I don’t mind
If I die

    i do not know how to take this
    but that is the beauty of poetic license.
    this is so beautiful by its succinctness
    and so powerful by its words
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    I'm unsure. I'm uneasy. I want to leave. I want to hide. When I know I shouldn't. I don't mean to lie. But I may be. I may be wrong. Aren't we all ?

    Thought provoking, again ;) . A conscience check that doesn't seem to bring up a definitive answer. Leaves me wondering ....

    Stay steady Oceans - you have a tremendous spirit, that pulses through your every sparing word. La France? Oui, bien sur - ils ont sympa la bas - supercool.

    The only danger with me reading your poems is I get stirred up and risk writing some more of my own!! eek

    Try this acrossOceans - but take with a pinch of salt. You can tell me (us) what you find if you like - I don't want to do your head in! Better still (to get back on topic) write us a poem if you find anything of value

    I'd wish so. But it can be misleading. I'd say Faith is a surer bet.

    Sorry if it was really not what you needed. Sometimes it really helps me clear my head - new perspectives - other times not so.

    Alternatively - chill out and have a beer!


    that i-ching tends to reflect back what is going on inside- I see it like a parabolic dish into which you throw a tennis ball - the way the ball comes back tells you something about how it is thrown, and something about the dish.

    Sorry this is probably even less what you need!!

    ARMWRESTLE?? :lol:
