In honour of post number 600 (yes, it astounded me too!) it feels fitting to revisit where it all began. This was my first poem, not the first I showed the world, but the first I scribbled when I started…
Hope you enjoy and thank you all for continuing to read and enjoy my rambles…
Cheers

It is as it is…
Perhaps it never was…
Staring into the abyss…
On the brink of utter chaos…
They sit there and judge me…
But have no idea who I am…
Can not see what I see…
Or read my cosmic plan…
They don’t really know me…
Or begin to truly understand…
Life won’t ever set us free…
Fate’s not in our command…
They find it hard to trust me…
Garden where confusion grew…
Mirror where my heart should be…
Distorts their point of view…
They won’t ever forgive me…
Sick of playing silly games…
Drowning in a spiteful sea…
Trapped in Hell’s Black flames…
They won’t ever release me…
A prisoner of their hateful war…
Even when on bended knee…
Emotional cage remains mine to explore…
They know the one who held me…
The one that I let go…
Please don’t tell nobody…
And never let it show…
It is as it is…
Perhaps it never was…
The edge of the abyss…
The brink of utter chaos…

Lovely to read your very first scribbles! How old is this poem, if I may ask? ^^ The darkness was surely there already 😉 I just can’t believe you made 600 posts! I haven’t even reached 100! Well, onto post #1000 🙂
Thank you – I only started writing poetry when my father became ill with cancer – so around 3 years old – not a long time in the grand scheme of things! Cheers J
The Wall..I received this Album from a Mate before i buried him, 3rd best drummer Swedish, god bless his soul.. We just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl… Love it, cheers

The whole Wish You Were Here album is my favorite from Pink Floyd. I love David Gilmour’s solo versions of this and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.
Thank you – if you use the search facility in the blog header, you should find a few more Pink Floyd related poems in my pages – enjoy! Cheers J
