Losing Sleep (structured)
written by sarah1008709:49 AM 12/16/04I'm constantly in bed, yet rarely i sleep.
All i do is cry and weep.
I think of times gone by and the things that i had.
Times that were good and times that were bad.
If i could have them all back, I would give my life away.
But I know that this is a dream, I'm dreaming my life away.
Always in bed yet rarley asleep, the clouds and the rain begin to reap
the possession that is my soul.
I have no-one to turn to and nowhere to go.
Its a black hole
where
im
constantly
falling,
my eyes wont close, they're forever bawling.
I try to hide this behind a mask, and its easy to forget.
But its just as easy to live a life of bitter regret.
I'm always in bed, yet i rarely sleep.
It's been one month and week.
Before this i had everything, everything was lost,
I'm back where i started, in a christian synogogue.
A lie. A fake. A big contradiction.
No love to share, just pain affliction.
I spread it around as I'm falling down, so everything else falls too.
I guess i'm just selfish, like everyone else, including you.
The reader of pain. These seconds you waste will never be yours again. |

| thats your interpretation. the thing about the arts is that each person brings their own context to the subject matter. So perhaps you need to see the wider picture not just ur narrow vision. |

| Only blind (or stupid) people would interpret your poems the way you expect them to. Interpretation is a major factor in all forms of art. There's no point painting an anagram of suicide when others interpret it is happiness. It just wouldn't work. Silent plays (mimes) are another such thung, It's no good killing someone only to have the audience believe your cooking dinner! |

| If they dont understand without it being blatant, then they're not worth the arts their looking at. Have you ever seen a hand dryer. Thers a button, well it looks like a button, and written on the button it says "automatic". Ppl press the button, then realise it doesnt work!! The makers are having a laugh at the stupidity of the user for not getting it...if you dont get it, your not worth explaining it to. |
