Hello, how are you?

Hello, how are you?

A Poem by Ricky L. Walters

I can hang myself on reason

and be buried under rhyme

wrapped up in my inhibition

on more relic lost in time

 

you crucify me daily

every time I close my eyes

I've begun to think that maybe

I'm someone I might despise

 

When I dreamed the other night

I was bathing in my sin

Even though I knew it wasn't right

I knew I would again

 

You know I've got this empty feeling

Way down deep inside

Which everyday I try to fill, a little

by swallowing my pride

 

So I've taken all that makes me special

and stored it on the highest shelf

Just outside the reach of people

who might end up like myself

This is such a great piece! A great, and so well written piece. I would not ever change a thing about this one. It has a beautiful mystery about it almost teasing me to get inside your head.

When I dreamed the other night
I was bathing in my sin
Even though I knew it wasn't right
I knew I would again

I love these lines, and was left in awe by the last lines-a great ending. It is beautiful and dark-I love it!
