Description I Spent the night in my broken down car
   My shattered self hasn't come too far
From all the things that I wish that I had said
       Meaningless words filling spaces inside my mixed up head.

And you know I’d throw it all away
     Have it all gone today
Just for things to change, for the better of course
   [Though I’m sure they could get worse]
I walked away to try and escape from the present
                         and start a new life pretending I’m ok.

Yesterday I listened to the birds
     Trying to translate the simple message
       That they must be saying,
They must possess some divine secret…
Have you ever seen an unhappy bird?
      Only the dead ones;
A sign life is worth living if ever there was one.

And tomorrow I’ll look back
    Questioning my reasons for trying to escape
Wonder what was going through my mind
Confused about what could ever have been so bad
  That I needed to run away…
    Self inflicted isolation
      When all I need is you.

Within a matter of hours
   I’ll remember
I know you will take care of that.

i should think that the structure you presented the stanzas and lines was done on purpose...really effective if you wanted it to reflect the nature of the poem's content...interesting...

But damn.. this is awesome. I love this. I swear.. Wow.. lol. Amazing.

Hmm...very interesting. Nice musings - the bird one might be something that'll turn into a story/poem of its own if you let it
