Restless Passion

Struggling to achieve success through an all consuming passion that does not allow the mind to be at peace.

 

You will never know how I feel

You will never understand

This passion

Inside me

It drives me

It keeps me alive

It's my reason for being

The reason I'm still here

Why else would I be here

In this crazy a*s world

With no point or no meaning

No one knows what they're doing

Not even where they're going

It's filled with physcos and maniacs

But still I stay in it

I just want this so badly

It's my dream and my nightmare

Even when I'm asleep

I'm awake to it

I got to have it

But when will I get it

I'll keep working at it

I'll even die trying

If that's what it takes for me to make it

You got to know that I'll have it

WHAT! you don't know it

Well fine thats ok

You never even matter anyway

You don't have to have faith in me

You don't even know me

How could you know me

I don't let you see me

But guess what

I know me

I got this

It's mine for the taking

Consider it taken

 

Author's Note

This is the first piece I've ever made public but I would prefer brutal honest about it.

I love the in your face attitude you bring to this piece. to me this feels like things that have been held in for so long and finally they explode out into the open with a no regret don't mess with me kind of thing going on, with a hint of rebelliousness.

Love this:

You don't even know me
How could you know me
I don't let you see me

this is such a true statement of how we hide ourselves from others... then of course we feel isolated... then get hurt or angry that others don't know us.

you captured it perfectly. The opening phrase and this phrase frame the poem very nicely.

I liked it. Thanks for this.
