For all the help and encouragement…. to everyone. I’ve only been here since Saturday, but this place was crucial to my survival through Sunday and yesterday…. I have been encouraged to post some of my writings…. and although I’ve never shared them before this past weekend, I feel it’s the least I can do….. here is another…. titled “If Things Don’t Change”…
====================================
With my feelings,
there’s no pickin’ or choosin’
’cause most of the time
they hide away snoozin’
– – – – – – – – – –
When I look inside
it’s only perusin’
I’m so empty now
my life I am losin’
– – – – – – – – – –
If things don’t change
then I’ll be cruisin’
headed for that
emotional bruisin’
– – – – – – – – – –
My soul will be
one big contusion,
empty inside, yet
full of confusion.
– – – – – – – – – –
I’ll wind up
in some institution
not able to tell
reality from illusion.
================
thanks again
FTS

Hey, Ive been reading your post (I’ve only just found this site also) but didn’t know what to write. I think tho that this is my favourite poem so far
Thank you…. I was originally encouraged to post my stuff by one person….. but after having posted a few now… I get encouraged by more and more people here… this place has definitly helped….
Hey FTS, this one really rocks! It’s depressing, but I sense a somewhat playful spirit about it. I love that kind of stuff. Man, you’re like the greatest blues singer who never sang.
thanks Scooby…. like I said… started by your encouragement and now having others comment…. I will post more…. some won’t be any good, others may touch some one…. I think the next one I post might be a little more upbeat…
