Description I am so tired     that I cannot sleep
My nightmares keep brooding somewhere down deep
When I want to relax and forget all my woes,
Leave the world and my foes,    let my thoughts decompose
Yet I find that I'm missing, I find that  I'm lost
And the world keeps on spinning at such a high cost
As we fight for survival and kill for our lives
Everything dies,      but irony survives
Sometimes we'll continue with the hope that we'll last.
It's anyone's guess, but...    I'll bet on the past
I change information where nothing is truth.
I know government files will not hold back the youth.
I'm writing this out on form one-oh-four-five
How can you even tell if you're alive?
With proof printed on paper with ornate designs
Will you disappear if you slide between the lines?
With each setting sun I reminisce back
To the days of my youth, but I   have lost track
And the memories grow hazy as I forget scenes
Bonfire parties and patched up old jeans
Bright lights and bike rides, not dreamings  nor truth,
All is distorted from the shards of my youth

Ahh, the most well-composed poetry I've seen in too long. And it rhymes with such great fluidity, I can't help but love it.

Thanks! I have to say that, given the option, I prefer to rhyme.

"I change information where nothing is truth.
I know government files will not hold back the youth."

Bonfire parties and patched up old jeans"

I like this line... maybe you should be making music.. or a book of some kind.

Although I just realized I wrote survival and survives too close together.

But... sometimes I want to write music. Often, actually, but it doesn't always work. I give my writing to Wendy in the hopes she can use it, as she's the musician. Spoken word, on the other hand...

Thanks!
