PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it's the moment of truth and i'm just sitting here

writing poetry

the world is saying "here's your chance!"

and i'm ignoring...

i'm seeing now how

scary

big

dark

it all

is

these people who smile just aren't

looking around

There's comfort and comfort, she says.

now it all seems like a horrible facade

the passion--gone--when you're not there

think of all the people i've fooled

there's no tomorrow or afterwards about it

i've forgotten it now--

no remembering

no reminiscing

that violent rejection reaction

the cutting room queen

i'm telling you now and you're looking dismayed

i feel like if i go on i'll never be able to reconcile

but what is expected?

i wish i could know

who's there to ask--they all say it's up to

you

what about when i decide not to decide--?
