train of thought

this poem of mine is one of my favourites. its quite long, and i've edited it from the original... (b

the darkness surrounds,
fighting back, the light,
blocking out everything,
all sounds, all thoughts.

how many times,
has it failed?
you haven't pulled through,
its always too hard.

people shouting
people talking
people singing
people not listening.

its funny, conversation
two people, talking
no people, listening,
two points of view.

conflict lives everywhere,
every eye, every mouth,
everyone who thinks,
it makes life interesting

resolution is rare,
you don't find it often,
true apologies don't exist
being wrong is right

to err is human
its in our blood
to forgive is impossible,
remembering the blood

its all behind us,
not listening
not thinking
not caring

im not sorry,
no one ever is,
laughing at yourself,
the hardest thing...

every action,
has an equal and opposite reaction,
acting is natural,
reacting is nature

everything we know,
this world, this mind
is fake
nothing is real

put it all on,
fake the facade
no one will know
no one will care

writing things down,
seeing the brilliance
in the human condition
is the way to live

the unexamined life,
is not worth living
examine every detail,
live every detail

the darkness surrounds,
it evolves, adapts,
like a train,
a train of thought...
