what do you do when the one constant in your life is the one thing you need to break free from?
what do you do when no one sees that because it comes disguised as a sugar-coated package that only you can see inside to its rotten core?
what to you do when its only the wicked wind that wants to caress you & play with your hair?
what do you do when your equilibrium lies between an explosion & numbness?
what do you do when you’re lost, forgotten or unknown to the only source of a smile?
what do you do when your tongue is nailed to the table at a cruel meal of social reticence?
what do you do when you’re played for a fool everytime you try to break free?
what do you do when you’re forgotten what love is or wonder if its ever really been for you?
what do you do with little-girl dreams that have been buried and are screaming with suffocation to live again?
what do you when the words of a song promise to fix you but no one comes round to actually do it?
what will you do?
what will you do?
what will you do?
nothing
just stand back
and watch yourself decay
as the crowd gets up
and walks out on you
depression was never a crowd-pleaser anyway
hey..even though i dont think u are looking for answers, i kinda wanted to say something..i dont know about everyone else but i think i have asked the same questions in varying degrees at some point in my life..the only thing sometimes to do it seems , is to shrug your shoulders and say “what the heck !!! ”
besides, you are never really alone. ( even if this was written just for the literary apeal of the content and there;s absolutely nothing to do with how you OR anyone else is going through at the moment )
Hey MC, thanks for the kind words. Its kinda hard to say what the heck sometimes, but you do have a point. And yes, this is not just about literary appeal. I wrote it on a dark night a few days ago because it was exactly how I was feeling. Still do.
I havent been reading the blog stuff for some time now….Just started again today and saw this……
I dont know what to say…… or how to change things…….
this speaks to me.
pointless comment i know, but i like reading your blog.
“what to you do when its only the wicked wind that wants to caress you & play with your hair?

powerful questions… that usually provoke feeble answers
“what do you when the words of a song promise to fix you but no one comes round to actually do it?”
wow… I’m still stuck on that thought…
and the last line
how could anyone not agree
