The Land Without MeA Poem by The Disconsolate MuseWould many people really care if I just "disappeared"?
My hands are shaking
My mind is faltering I throw away and adopt the new Yet with the new, it's hard to follow through With shaking hands, and with a blind heart I cannot see the light, helping me from the darkness depart I'm like a taut string, as one ready to break My anger is being me to a place, which I wish not to relate With shallow breathing, and fists clenched at my side With a blank expression into space, with these feelings I must hide My defenses are faltering and my emotions are departing Why can't I keep what I want on life's quest I'm always embarking? The truth is something that all seek But can people accept the truth, when it comes to me? I'm filled with hate, anger, depression, and defeat My emotions are the wicked truth- truth that man wants, but doesn't want to hear The question is, would anyone actually miss me if I disappear? The land without me, as it could come to be called T'would be a joyous place without me When all I bring is wickedness and defeat The land without me for all would be a treat As a land easier for all, and as one where I do not face defeat The land without me would offer her children a sweet embrace For in all honesty, most I know wouldn't batt an eyelash if I left this place When all you can offer is useless and depressing poetry Would anyone honestly want you alive in the majority? They wouldn't, and I don't blame them, mind you Which is why the land without me would be a joyous place to live through With the only sadness being a few family and true friends Would the sadness of some outweigh the joy of others? It wouldn't, and you know it Although you seek for your face not to show it You offer me useless pity When all I want is the harsh truth You want to save your conscience from throwing me into the pit of despair But you don't know that I'm already above it, clenching into it by a rabbit's hair You offer useless banter, and always hide what you think You don't verbally support the land without me, but in your head you often rethink With anger, depression, hopelessness and hate I can't contribute to this land in its current state As the emotional wreck I am I need the blade to keep my emotions from surmounting When all you have for comfort is words from the tales of old And a God that you can speak to and hardly hear Is it easier to talk and read Or take the blade and accept defeat? My mind is conflicted between what I know is true And what I honestly want to do I should reach out to God, and take the hand of the one who made me Yet I can't, because I know that the land without me would be a better place I view the blade as a better option, than lashing out at the One who can set me free So give me the blade, and let me help myself On the road to success, and the land without me, being absent of hell So as I write and the emotions surmount I reach the base of my emotions- The ones I've trained myself to live without I realize that the land without me is a good solution indeed But I lack the strength and courage to save those around me With a knife through my chest plunging straight to the heart The land without me would be a story which all would soon embark This f*****g hell, which I live through every day Is another day, from the land without me I delay My hell known as life Is full of ever present strife I guess myself from deep within And try with all my might, this hell to withstand I accept defeat, flirting with ideas of the land without me I think of all who it would effect And reach the end result with kindergarten math So one day, the land without me will be made And true joy will be found, from the beginning to the end of the day. © 2017 The Disconsolate MuseAuthor's Note
