Finding Myself : Life

written by Poet : Jeff Pelsang


Here I go again, another night of writing as the lonliness creeps in,

I dream about living, friends and fun,

I imagine laughter and smiles under the sun,

Instead I fall into my eeyore complex and rain clouds gather,

Empty with nowhere to reach, nobody to grasp, and does it really even matter,

The world put on my shoulders everyday,

I carry it to support my family without a day of play,

Bringing in the bucks to support cell phones,texting and the internet,

I hate technology as memories are never created and we pursue things we always forget,

What happened after High School, and where did my friends all go,

How do they live, what do they do, and do they think life blows,

Are they sitting behind the screen as I do wishing for a change,

Imagine if all my friends were like me wasting away, that would be strange,

Are we so drawn into our caves and cubicles its become to hard to get out,

Silent we walk past each other but deep inside we just want to scream and shout,

"Please have a beer with me", my mind yells to my lips,

But my lips stay silent as loose lips would only sink ships,

Depressed, my mind gets tired of trying.....

Tired of living and accepting thoughts of dying,

I try to commit suicide the cowardly way,

I eat 3 bags of chips motionless in bed as I lay,

Transfat bombardment, a slow and painless death,

Hello TV, I introduce myself as jeff,

For the tube is the tool for the many lonely souls,

Entertainment for the mindless, the lifeless, and a quicker way to grow old,

Why is it tears come as easy as a rainy day in Seattle,

Dripping from my cheek to my chin then to the floor like stampeding cattle,

It's because I care, because I need love, because of my greed I can never get enough,

I think I just need a HUG........
