This is My Life, There's No Escaping That

I know we like to title our poems with first lines, so I switched it up and titled this with the last line! Its not really THAT depressing...and I'm sure its in some sort of formal style, I just can't figgure out what it is right now...

 

Living in this time of overwrought distraction, with time not even to see –

How are the fates so callus in their trickery?

Into the depths, below what the world may want to believe, this is the place where we

Scream inside.

 

Silent at the peak; oh why not but to show the intensity of the emotion!

The invisible tears of many colors flow acidiclly into the ocean.

Coming to the top, why does he not see my face?

I see the wrath on his bedside.

 

Oh! No other monosyllable could capture such bliss –

How could any living thing be deprived of joy such as this?

Changing and moving until I perfect my taste,

But to have just one moment at his side.

 

No one stirs as I direct my speech,

You’re slipping slowly from my reach;

I use it, confuse it, lie in wait –

This is my life. There’s no escaping that.

I do believe Acceptance is the perfect title for your poem ...if your not happy with it I would maybe call ...A desire to be noticed, either way this is a wonderfully expressed poem. I enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.

This poem makes me feel many things, maybe my interpretation will be different than it's intent but I believe us readers see ourselves in others work. I see a great desire to be noticed by someone you adore and he doesn't see it or you for who you are. I see joy and yes pain (oh how I love certain pain) but most of all I see acceptance of self and that makes this a powerful write. I am not good at chosing titles. Most of my titles don't really match the message in my writes. but if I was to title this one it would be one word... "Acceptance" Great write and I can't believe I am the first to comment on this one.. YAY!
