30 Days in the Hole

lost soul looking for attention or is it detention

30 Days in the Hole

A flaw in my personality, can be easily detected,

need lots of attention, or I get dejected,

just really can't stand, the thought of being rejected,

though I may seem cool, calm and collected

so I go out searching, looking for some action,

I hate spinning my wheels, getting no traction,

find me something fancy, new kind of attraction,

I need the whole enchilada, not merely a fraction

no I just can't stand, sitting idly by,

always needing something, I can catch on the fly,

got to keep busy, or my mind will go dry,

then I'll remember that I'm lonely, and I just might cry

Yeah I pretend that I'm tuff, I can take a hard fall,

when the pressure gets high, and my back's against a wall,

and I finally realize, there's just no one to call.

I reach in my pocket, and whip out a Pall Mall

gotta settle my nerves, get under control,

play my guitar real loud, and wait for the patrol,

to wrap me up, and shove me in a hole,

30 days should be enough, to locate my soul

well there's no real beginning, so I guess there's no end,

if your looking to me, for a message to send,

your in the wrong place, sorry my friend,

make up something new, yes go ahead pretend

I like the poem about your lost soul...I am reminded of many things,this is a good poem to spark my thoughts. First of all, I think we live in a culture than encourages not to have any quiet time, to fill up every moment in our lives or we feel restless, we need to be entertained. My next thought is that life and learning is like breathing, first I breath in and need to see,feel,touch everything and I can't take an empty moment...but then this passes and I suddenly want peace and time to think, and then, like breathing out, I feel inspired to create or give or do something new. I have other thoughts, but I am going to stop here and say I am inspired by your poem.
