Just Another Day
A Poem by Jumbo J
I want to write an epic story I want to tell you I'm in my glory But that's just not true, there's silent screams All derived from broken dreams.
I'm a damaged man, I've always been I thought these feelings were just routine Who am I kidding, I'm fooling no one I'm falling to pieces, I'm just about done
I keep it all positive... yes you see me smiling But there fake looks... inside I'm sliding It's not my way... I've played it tough But I'm tired of this s**t, I've had enough
I've got no one to speak to in my time of extreme No one to hear the cries of my echoing screams Tough it out man, get yourself together Should I just write the doctor another letter?
Tell him how I'm on my last legs Tell him the darkness swirls around in my head Tell him I think I'm better off dead So tell me... who am I kidding?
You know what he'll do to set me free I'll be medicated out until it's not me So what will I do, who can I tell somebody listen, I'm drowning in hell
I want to write an epic story I want to tell you I'm in my glory But that's just not true, there's silent screams, there's nothing left but broken dreams...

I tried to comment here yesterday but my computer acted up on me. What I was going to say before being interrupted is...this poem relates to most everyone. Whether we admit it or not we are all broken in some way. Some of us have broken ourselves. It's like a baking tin pan with a dent in it which we are all a product of. Your angst is inspiring J :).

I'm sure everybody wants that epic success in their lives, but circumstance and life get in the way... I may have not reached my full potential, but like they say... it's not over til' this fatboy Jumbo sings... Yeah, you see me smiling! xx
