Except For Me Poem by Elias Barcelona

Except For Me



In a dream i see
Empty houses
Shadowed trees
Everyone is someone
Except for me
Busted cars
Filled up bars
Everyones falling in love
Except for me
Broken glass
Clouded past
Everyone is told goodnight
Except for me
Silent music
Lumps and brusies
Everyone has passion
Except for me
Gangs who shoot
Blinds and mutes
Everyone has friends
Except for me
Drunken foes
Beaten hoes
Everyone can laugh
Except for me
Blood and war
Oiled shores
Everyone has someone
Except for me
I awake
No more i can take
So terrible a scence
How horrible it must be
To dream of reality

This poem narrates some of the complexities of life. As a lover of poetry, your poem helps me accept life's beauty and uglyness as just life.. live it in the best and worst... for such is life! Keep writing, you're good so, keep writing from your heart...I love and enjoy your work and thanks for your invitation.When time permits, read some of my work and take a peek into my soul, too.

I like the use of the refrain 'except for me' - very moving
