all it takes
is one tragic story
about ones life,
to make everyone
weak at the knees
wet eyes
and sweaty palms

well welcome to
my pathetic excuse
i call my life
so heres my story.
Why are nimals be used for entertainment?
Why are animals be used for our makeup?
Why are animals used to make our food ?
Why are  animals hurt ?
Why are  animals used for clothing ?  
Why are animals seen as inferior to humans?
Why are animals punished ?
Why are animals bled to death ?
Why are animals disrespected ?
Why are animals not important?
Why don't animals have the right to be free and happy ?
We're just selfish human beings because animals are equal to any living thing! Animals have feelings, thoughts, dreams and aspirations just like humans.

There have been millions of souls before our own
And millions will fall behind
I'm risking so much, of all I have shown
Even to the best of us, love is blind

We are like a misshapen door
Creaking and wobbling unsteady
We have one hinge hanging on and one on the floor
I know now that I'll never be ready

Sobbing and choking on words I have said
The shaking of heads and deeds that are done
Then comes the silence that I so awfully dread
I am unsure now if you are the one

You spit fire at me, melting all that I see
The lines of scrimmage are dimmed and blurred
Who is right, you or me? There is no in between
With my heart wounded, I am deterred

Then we sit in the quiet unsolved
I cry for a bit, I don't care how I look
It doesn't matter, our fighting never resolves
The way I am left hurt and shook

Is real love supposed to make you wonder?
To make you question everything you thought you knew?
Because I'm drowning in the rocking waves and thunder
Rather than frolicking in the flowers I thought love grew


****** if I do, ****** if I don't with you my dear
Because no matter what I choose, I am at fault
It's either only having you for the rest of my years
Or choosing them and in my wounds pouring salt

So I try to soak in all the words that you've shared
I realize I'm growing up more than I admit
And I know that you have always dutifully cared
Then I looked at you with more insight and wit

You've loved and supported me all this time
Even when I was in someone else's arms
Even when I still had my own mountains to climb
And in the most when you knew I could have been harmed

I don't want to know who is wrong
I don't want to know who is right
I can feel a sense of where I belong
I know where I want to spend the night
Where do you hide
after the rain subsides
Why do your brilliant
colors disappear
The elusive *** of gold
albeit a myth
we still seek your end
On rare occasion we sight
a double or triple version
of your faded spectrum
We stop in wonder
like children viewing fireworks
Once again
you depart from us
Houdini-like...
right before our eyes.
Contemplating changing the name to Faded Rainbow.  What are your thoughts fellow poets?
you take
refuge in your flight

on your pinions
you gracefully
adorn the
smudged
sky

while i?
i lie tethering
my ankles to the

ground

I wish I could get out of this funk. I'm My Own Worst Enemy quite often. I believe self-pity to be the greatest hindrance to spirituality there is.
