    Reverse Directions

    internal thoughts creepin..... beautiful women sleepin
    memories of years ago replay replay replay
    light breaks into the darkness internally interupts thoughts....
    sometimes tragic events produce the spark..
    the spark to start actually living..
    actually realize the air that your breathing, expands the chest cavity leaving...
    your spirit awakened...
    The feeling that I get when I remeber the shit that I regret..
    Leaves me feeling doubtful that I will make the same mistakes..
    earthquakes, death and the screams of the dieing...
    I rememeber her face, contorted fearful and crying...
    tragedy, was it the lying? or the drunken fits of rage,
    insane how the women took all the evil that I had to give..
    took it in and with one breath continued to live,
    flashed me a look with the beautiful blue eyes..
    a look that said that she didnt mind..
    reversal now, how sad how I crack with things go wrong
    different meanings lifes progession seeming,
    like an angel singing to me, leaving me shaking in my bed in a cold sweat,
    understanding thats theres more too life too live yet..
    a single water droplet drops on a mirror like pond
    in the middle of nowhere effects everything
    a baby facing a difficult life decided to continue on
    an 80 year old man deciding to end it now.
    a family devistated by the choice he made.
    across the country the man who will change the world forever
    the kids tease him and call him unclever
    back tract, reverse directions
    bass pounds your intestines.
    undecided hard choices with these voices screaming..
    listening with ears wide open struggling with the meaning..
    feeling my way through it all
    like the blind man through a maze amazed by the texture.
    the feeling of the velvet covered walls.
    purple silken drapes circling sunken feet deep
    each and everyway that you might think..
    again reverse directions..
    reverse directions inspecting the deck edging
    wondering eactly how far it would be to fall
    fall from the top far from greatness
    your morbid friends debate this.
    I hate this, again the angel sings
    brings me back into reality
    again another sunrise having to start the day
    starting it on my knees I start to pray
    lord, father, please keep me sane.
    sane enough to endure the pain..
    to force march through the driving rain..
    its cold now and my bones ache
    I feel like a lost child in an empty warehouse.
    rusty sharp metalic machines threaten me
    eager to tear open my skin an infect
    I brush up against one muttering what the heck...
    the dark warm sensation
    pouring over skin, moving every hair folecule
    drip drip drip on the floor
    loss life force makes me ravenous
    could eat a small village
    I decide that a small city is what I need
    I find one a rejoice the voice continues to echo
    very loud, energizing, into my heart and soul
    I look up and the clouds part
    sunshine embraces my being
    I feel at piece at least for a second.
    maybe a second is all I need.
    back to underwater drowning...

    I think I peeped it when you dropped the first half and i liked the parts you added to it....these lines were really good, it was kinda like you got into the zone on the rest of the piece.

    the imagery of a child lost in a metallic warehouse about to be torn apart by some serrated machines was really vivid in my mind at least.

    nice imagery and good poem,, some peeps might not peep cause its a lil' lenghty.

    some good imagery going on here, some a little obvious too, a lot of water in this piece, sinking feelings, maybe not so much you but those around you... bastard

    Re: Reverse Directions

    gonna bump this up one last time..

    I wrote this drop while listening to some pretty intense instrumentals.. I wrote it in about 15 min and wrote whatever came to mind.. Please forgive my formatting or lack thereof.. I have been trying to write in the moment and in one mood.. I do not go back and edit because I think something will sound better, or something ends up sounding used and unoriginal.. Much to my detriment I guess.. However I’m looking for a few more comments and feedback.. Thank you, any advice given should be well received..

    Have a great day ..

    Re: Reverse Directions

    Some people might say it was too simple; that there weren’t enough complex concepts. The language was too common. But to me that’s the beauty of this piece – its simplicity. I loved the rawness of it all. I enjoyed how the repetition of certain words would lead into separate yet interconnected ideas. Everything seemed to be relevant to the whole. However, the only grip I have with this poem is that there weren’t enough positive images to contrast the significance of the negative ideas. Then again, I suppose that is where the reader’s life experiences should come into play...in terms of relative emotions. Overall, I think you did a great job expressing yourself in a way that everyone can relate to. This piece was very subtle yet intense at the same time. And I could empathize with a lot of the confusion and despair you depicted. And, although, lengthy I didn’t feel burden or boggled down by the read. In fact, I felt entertained the entire way through. Long story short…it was a great read. Keep posting man, I enjoy peeping your material. Pz
