Something Changed

Something Changed

Reflecting waters. Mirror image.
Everyoneā€™s living in their glory days.
Hidden visuals and premonitions.
I think I want to fix the world's mistakes.
ā€¦

Run, away.
I donā€™t want to feel so afraid.
Walk, away.
For the pleasures, for me, donā€™t feel the same.
Breath, and pray.
I donā€™t need the crowd to hold my weight.
I want to help other`s just escape.
I want to live in the world that I create.

Tired of feel-ing, tired of being forced on how to think.
Tired of dream-ing, the goals that others all want to seek.
I want to know why; I didnā€™t even try to find the light.
I want to hold on tight; to the life I was given in all good time.

I donā€™t want to be alone. Because no one wants to feel so cold.
But I donā€™t want to try to hold. Onto you, if you're never home.
ā€¦
Reflecting waters. Reflecting waves.
Trees in the ocean.
And in the eye.
Of a hurricane.

Lump in my throat when I was writing this. But emotions nonetheless. I hope you enjoyed~
I highly recommend listening to the song, it inspired the verse and muse behind the write~

Ah lovely write Max. Like a 'lightbulb moment' when realisation sets in that sometimes it's easier to let go of whatever it is we find so troubling x

Ahh thanks, Marion, yes, this poem really was a lightbulb moment. I had plans to post a different one this morning. But this write felt more emotional. I`m really glad you enjoyed it, my kind friend~ I hope you have been well. Sincerely, Max

A lump in the throat is better than other places, but hard when gasping none the less.
Thank you for being brave enough to write about your own pain.Ā 
refreshing and raw is the new black.Ā

Ahhh thanks Neville. It's true. As Marion said sometimes it's the light bulb moments. Sometimes they are buried deeper than most. Doesn't mean we should give up on em. Really thank you for supporting me through thick and thin Neville. I know my music is questionable at the best of times XD, but it means so much that you chose to listen anyway. I'm glad I could share my poem with you~ sincerely, your friend MaxĀ

Hi, Max, sorry I haven't been on for some time, work's been hell due to two of my same level collegues were on holiday at the same time and me having to do their emergencies too... Anyway, we're back at enjoying this piece, an honest though sad onešŸ˜­ reminds me of myself 35 years ago (just before meeting my wife). I will probably sleep tonight, but the tendency is to eorry about you now. Hope it is an experiment in feeling low and not the truthšŸ¤”šŸ™Œ keep writing
