A Man In This World Poem by B.3 BBB

A Man In This World



Pushed by Fear
Ran by Anger
Caught up in the world
My Heart can't take it
Fueled by jealousy
It's what I had become
Off my High Horse is where I'm from
Are these repercussions from my up bringing?
Or is it my pride that has me singing
Attack my character, life isn't but a dream
Sanely living is what I want to be
Auto Pilot is how this feels
Images running through my mind
It's hard to see what's real
Pan back and take a look a little longer
Get some Grit and come back stronger

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I watched Johnny Cash 'walk the line' yesterday. The scene where he is sitting at the dinner table with his Ol Man and family. You can tell Johnny is a mess from his dad and longs for attention. Johnny is sort of lost in this world and hardened from his choices But gets a grip on life and comes back to Folsom prison! I feel like this man and suppose my poem is deeper than the eye. Grit for me means GOD and I learned love triumphs evil.

An insightful depiction of a mind infested with negative emotions, well articulated and nicely penned in good diction with conviction. Thanks for sharing Triple Bs. Please read my poem CHILDREN OF CRUEL FATE.
