Read nice and slow :-)


I am just a boy...

walking around in circles
frightened of my own shadow
some days i can hear the echo
of every footstep i ever made
and as the cold glass cylindrical walls
forever grow taller
my life slowly condensates
and if by chance i should open my eyes
and see the reflection of all my dreams
i wonder who i am
and how i ever came to be
i have never been king of the sum of my worth
just a collection of bruised memories
waiting for the moon to command the tide
to return me back - to the sea.

I get this fragile, delicate feel when I read this. Love the ending especially.

I like the boy title, and I can identify with the sentiments of the poem but you are not a shadow in this neck of the woods Rik, you are an oak! Smiling at you, Tai

I agree with the other two. I felt as if it carried me like a leaf in the wind. Imagery was great. Nicely done.
