Stuck in this void you call life,
spiraling into a place where tragedy strikes,
uncontrolled thoughts parallel a distant universe,
and demons run reality like a puppets first verse,
buttoned eys and stitched lips,
why does society make us feel like this?
choking on words but you can never spit,
raw bloody feet they never let you sit,
needles stuck through skin,
nothing can be seen but the head of a pin,
you trip stumble and start to spin,
control is lost and you are empty within,
your brain wanders but your eyes can't catch up,
your heart is replaced with cotton fluff,
numb to the pain and feelings you hold onto,
but it seems you can still hurt everyone around you,
uncomfortable emotions slow like a time lapse,
life slipping by that you just can't grasp,
darkness sets in for this horror show,
lights flash around like a carnival,
you can't comprehend you can't even speak ,
through bloody lips and fanged teeth,
they talk and smile but their faces are so blurry,
they grab and tug like they are in a hurry,
burning inside signifies fury,
darkness fades to black as they chant and sing,
your mind loses control over everything,
they use your powers on a puppet string,
below their feet the ground grows cold,
the earth is so cracked even grass can't grow,
tears turn to ice and piles into snow,
with you even weather they can control,
when all is said and done and they need you no more,
you are thrown back down onto the floor,
you are all used with nothing to feel at all,
you are a human Voodoo Doll

OMG! Did you write that?? If you did it was fantastic!!
My son is a poet and photographer, and I almost thought it was one of his poems.
Go to his site in my signature and read some of his stuff.
If you wrote that, you are very talented.....really.

Yes I did write it myself. I have a few on here I posted to share with everyone. I just do VERY amateur stuff right now. Mary Anne gave me some links to check out different things. I love poetry, and will check it out right now! thanks for the compliment!

Terry, Brandon is really talented and he needs to enter his work in a contest, so, looks like I will have to take matters into my own hands and do it for him! **hands on hips tapping foot**

LOL, none needed. Just a poem with intense emotion is all.

hahahaha. I know I know. I'm trying, really. I have checked out the Vermont poetry organization and a couple of northeast local things. I am reading as many different poems lately and trying to get into different writing styles and such. You really put this in motion!! :D

Brandon, you have some serious talent!!! No joke!!! You should Pm TerryO and find out how her son got started. I hope I'm not bugging you! Just some persuasion from a Fan in CA *waves* don't make me "GO ALL MOM" on you!!! **hands on hips still and foot tapping but slower because it's getting tired**

Brandon, I don't know if there are any places where you live like this, but here in NY there are places where you can perform your poetry, and get rated. Sometimes there are people there that are looking for talent.
I wish you much luck, as you are VERY talented. I will be next to Mary Ann at you book signing.

I will have to keep my eye out for opportunities like that here. I am learning more and more each day. Thank you for the info, and the compliment as well!!! You, Mary Anne, and TFO have been so inspirational! Thank you so much! :D :D :D
