Life's Remote

Life's Remote

A Poem by Karina Longo

Suicided the idea of socializing
Mind and body - each so over rated
The company of the bruises inside me
Just reveal the snow-like yet barely scarred skin
Body shapes, not so thin -
Anorexic dream or lust within?

F**k and pay, play and f**k off
Hidden meanings, the oldest trick
Four walls, five continents, one life
Yes or no, maybe forever, maybe never
Secular shame remains global and unknown

Life - a disappointment on repeat
I’ve seen too many copies of today - I’m so sick
Life - an amusement so expensive
And so damn cheap
Selling respect for a bottle of alcohol
Buying problems, a martyr’s life guaranteed

Cover yourself blind when you want
And then look around and be blinded by the sun
Reality kills but the empty dream is a trigger
The remote of life can't stop the pain
So turn off the tv

A lot of emotion grinding out in stark reality of pain. The last two lines cap off this poem perfectly.

I am awe-striken. This remained clever and a masterpiece from beginning to end. Each word flowed into the next easily. Brilliant and beautiful.
Great job.
