Existence

Existence

Have you ever felt like your mind has
lived longer than the shallow, literal
existence of one's own body? I have.
I have seen past the looking glass, the
safe comforts that repeatedly are taken
for granted, through people's minds and
through their pitied attempts to decieve
those around them. I have seen too much.
I have seen the bond of a best friend
tarnished, lost, refound, and then left in the
cold, subtle winds that pass and make one
shiver in despair. I have seen the likes of
many kindred human souls eaten alive in the
broad of daylight and have their most cherished
friends, family, and aquaintences act as if they
had not one thing happen to them.... left to
die and die in neverending sorrow. My mind
shattered and repaired over and over...
these memories, these thoughts... they never
find their rest. Attempts to die, attempts to live..
I have tried that and more... trying to hold onto
this precious human gift called life, its dreams,
the happiness one gains that makes life worth
living. Dillusions pool like that of mercury...
reality gains control and disillusion is realized.
Too much dillusion I have seen.. in myself and
in others. Dreamers, seekers, believers, do-ers,
procratinators... all trying to gain success.. but
so many fall astray. It is too much to handle, too
much knowledge I wish I didn't know of, but also
that I am greatful for...
My blood spilled for all to see... the stains, they
rarely come out of my clothes, carrying them like
scars.. illnesses... pity...
I try to hide them with purer coverings, but the
blood continues to spill...
And at the moment I am able to edify the stains
that beseech me, another bullet penetrates my
withered flesh.. and the bleeding spills once more.
Oh, I have seen too much for my time...

Eh... just a little sometime I came up with a while back...
It's freeverse poetry, of course ^^

Very enlightening. And very true. We do see too much pain. However, would you ever have it any other way? I mean, I would rather know the truth than to be oblivious.

Its a good poem I suppose, but I hate how poetrys got to be so sulky these days "Oh no life sucks I can't cope I'm going to be all sad now.". Its worded very well, its just that I hate seeing people waste themselves on sadness. Its such an easy poetic emotion.
