Turning Like a Globe

Settling down and falling in

In line with the pretexts

I can't define my discomfort

I can't correct my untied expression

Turning like a globe

Spun by condition



I needed something and I was deprived

You had it and you knew it, and yet...

I've yet to recieve anything but anguish

From you who were thought so kind



And now my mood is shifting

And so is your state of mind

Ironic or conveniant?

Hard to say, and I don't want to know

Turning like a globe

Spun by condition



I will let my feelings turn

Maybe you will turn too

And if I come back to you,

I am weak

And if I stand strong in my convictions

I am still weak



I lose and I lose

But I'll live

Splendid youths

Are relative

Splintered truths

Show old abuse

So abtruse

Is this concept of life

Pretentious life

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is an afterthought, but I just realized how much this sounds like those cafe rats that drink coffee and call it art... THey think saying 'cha' and snapping their fingers can turn words to poetry... Dammit.

I enjoy the premise of this...but I find it very weighed down by a lot of words that just aren't necessary, a lot of perfect sounds are muddled by extra words like "and" and "it" and "the". Read this aloud and play with your line breaks a little and see what comes from it. Nice work.
