Around A Corner Poem by Heather Milks
Around A Corner
Something’s about to happen.
What it is I don't know just yet.
But it's big, and its coming.
It's coming to steal my smile
to take my grace, to rock and shake
and wreck this place.
It sounds absurd and completely insane
It sounds absurd in a crazy way
It sounds like I’m nuts
Or I’ve lost my way
It sounds absurd but I can explain
The days are short and the nights are shorter
The time is passing with less to show for our efforts
There are more pains than smiles
and the laughter is empty, almost uncomfortable.
There’s an ever present nemesis
Looming over my heart
A wandering worry of how badly this will be
The truth is a lie and my thoughts betray me
I am beginning to doubt everything, even my breaths.
Have you ever not existed?
Take it from one who has, or hasn’t.
There is an incomparable emptiness
that comes with being nothing.
Pain doesn’t even hurt,
not as much as not being
Are you crazy
if the only thing that makes you feel alive
is being crazy?
Will it be today or next week?
Is it deadly or just bad enough?
Is it all in my head?
Your right, its coming, there is no stopping it. Your truth IS a lie and you ARE crazy. Soon though, the only one you will be able to hurt is yourself. Every day drawls you one closer to that ditch you know you deserve.Oh, and your a horrible poet. Your writing has the talent of a 5th grade special ed class English assignment. Your worthless.
Question posed and answer given with even more questions softly seeking answers. Sounds like life to me. Interesting read Heather.
Very stream of consciousness writing...questions sometimes never answered...Coach

My dear readers, below you will find 2 comments that I'm sure you will find quite rude. I have chosen to allow them to remain. They remain for many reasons, one of which is to serve a larger purpose than that which they were initially intended. I know who this person is and they are 'shooting them selves in the foot' as law enforcement put it. Their comments are harsh and intended to hurt. They deffinately hurt, but not me. It puzzles me why some one with such abhorrence would go to such lengths and exert such effort as to create 2 member accounts just to endeavor upon manipulating me. Frankly, I'm impressed! Worthless? ! No, I'm not, and they just proved it. I'm worth their efforts. Forthrightly, I feel quite flattered that such a lazy, unmotivated, irrelevant person would go to such lengths just to let me know how they feel, knowing fully that I discount their opinion, and any other thoughts they have as well.
