Two Hours More

[smileyfish]

Two more hours

Days like these,
Where I loose my sense of purpose,
When the motions seem too pointless
To partake in, even on autopilot.

Times like these,
When I don’t know how this started,
Only that somehow
I lost myself in the confusion.

Wandering down the backstreets of my mind,
Sidetracked down an alley by a fleeting glimpse
Of something that reminds me of a place it seems I used to know.

Thoughts like these,
Self-indulgent depressive ramblings,
When I lack the motivation
To make something of the day.

States like this,
Where all I do is wonder
How the hell I ended up here
When I’ve been so much before.

I could quote the whole thing -- damn good work. I've had thoughts, states like these myself day after day after day after day after day.... I got lost down the backstreets of my mind long ago and still haven't found way home...

And I like the autopilot part especially in relation to my day today. Certainly feel for you there...

It is hard not to want to quote the whole thing like rewiired said

I just feel i relate to this poem so well lately
awesome work!

Well written piece, smiley.

Perhaps it's not that you've been so much before, but rather that your vision is blurred and you can't quite see exactly what you are today. I think we all get blinded by confusion at some point in time.

You are an amazing girl - smart, witty, down to earth and beautiful both outside and in - any woman who becomes just half the person you are today would have a lot to be proud of.

Thanks for dinner tonight, and thanks for being my friend

very nicely put.

Kel, the last line is supposed to have dual meaning - the first (and most obvious) that I'm not living at my maximum at the moment, that I've fallen into a slump. The second, and more obsure, is that I've been to this place, this emotional state, so many times before, thus I should know better, move on, know how to get myself out.

Thankyou everyone for your comments. It's been ages since I posted in here and so wonderful to be welcomed back in this way!
