A More Difficult Equation

I'm tired of all these broken tiles
I'm sick of all the jagged lines
Turn back around and face the corner
Be ashamed of what you've lied

I'm in a fairy tale's land, covered in ice
Still as a rock, yet I still reside
As my head turns 'round and 'round and 'round
I see desert red skies, and flora/fauna on the ground

Too timid to STOP
Time flies, we'll take the skies
And cut them down
Block by block, inside a share stock
Rampant, twisted lock
Electric shock

Someone doesn't want to let us mock.
So they've made up words that I could never talk.

I walk to town like a telephone line
Digitized then disconnected
Virus!
Mainframe!
Infected!
Pull my plug
Pull my plug
One by one
"But you're my son"
Pull my plug
One by one
PeeringBrightLights
LOADED GUN

This must be how I ended up deep inside another cut
And now I'm in another rut
Washing down and cleaning up
Ain't it funny, buttercup?
How life throws down then pulls back up...

It's deceiving to the winterfellows
(the bells, the mills, the windowsills)
Naked thoughts cannot be found
I feel their presence in the bellows
(the time, the lime, a grave sits still)
Halfway home, I'm not around

I think they've let the panthers loose
I'd better make my move too soon...

undoubtedly fond of these two parts. i suppose it's the rhythm. (wording as well, obviously). you're on to something, keep it up.

..and welcome to Words. (again) :)
 
Thanks, man...I'm all excited to be posting my stuff! I hope you and everyone else will analyze my work...there's usually alot in there. Oh, yeah, most of my poetry doubles as lyrics to my music.
 
Definitely a lot going on in this piece, the last two verses seem more structured and solid and round this off well. This reminds me of the time I was trapped in a loveless relationship, but all I had to do was walk away!
 
Cool man, thanks! I hadn't ever thought of it from that viewpoint. I wrote it about, well, personally I think it's about how stubborn I was with drug abuse. I was going downhill fast when I wrote this, and I knew it, but I didn't care (thanks, meth, the shittiest drug ever). I don't know what to say for myself, I was a pretty pathetic person. But, man, did I have it all for the longest time. Then I literally lost everything in my life in a couple of days. Lost my job, Lost my family, lost all my "stuff", all my music (i had written and recorded ~80 songs), lost my sanity, everything. This was nearly six months ago, and I wonder alot if I'll ever be the same. Stupid thought, huh? I know I won't ever look at shit the same again. I was unhappy my whole life, then I became ridiculously addicted to every drug you can think of to achieve artificial happiness (which is great when controlled). Now, well, the emptiness and loneliness I feel might just be more intense than ever. It's almost like everything has gotten worse to some extent. I want a girlfriend.:(
Sorry, I guess that's the afterstory of this poem.
 
it seems as if you got alot on your mind.. and words that make someone understand.. I'll be watching for more of your work;)
 
frostyangel - thanks alot...I really do appreciate it. What you said means more than you can imagine. BTW...your name (frostyangel) and avitar lead me to believe your a sexy person. Maybe it's the hot evil chick in the avitar.
