Untitled 3.26.2013

Just needed to put thoughts on paper/computer screen.

If thoughts and intentions were worth a cent,
then I'd be a millionaire.
I am swamped by them as I lay in bed,
unable to claw my way past the walls that surround me,
and it is beginning to make it hard to breathe.

It would be nice if there were some grand point,
some reason given to us at the beginning of it all :
"Welcome to the world.
This is what you are here to accomplish,
and here are the tools you have been given.
Oh, and there are a lot of people watching along the way,
so be sure to impress them."

Instead, it's all such an empty slate.

We are simply placed here with various drives,
all of which are competing for your attention,
and expected to deal with them while striving for something.
You aren't really told what it is you're striving for,
but if it's different from what everyone else is striving for,
then you are doing it wrong.

I feel like I am doing it wrong.

But, really, at the end of the day,
I do. Not. Care.

Reviews

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Just believe in yourself the fact that you write this piece it is an amazing things you have done. Lovely piece, I enjoyt it!

[Dhaye]

We are all here for the main aim: to express ourselves. I do agree with you that sometimes, the essence of entering a certain world diminishes as time goes by.
But I understand that in a certain world like this, much problems arise.

In any small society, there are problems like the goals and objectives not achieved. You have to wear a mask...for you are like attending a masquerade party.

I have also seen that in this small world of writers: a writer against another writer, or to a cluster of writers; reviews are not to build up but to ruin the eagerness of somebody to write; compositions are not merely enhancing the values within; writers are striving for something (though it's their right) and builds up competition.

I hope I had the right thought about what you are into.
Just continue to write. Anything which drives everyone of us here, there's no wrong unless we are not harming others. If you feel like you are doing it wrong, then do what is acceptable to your conscience.

Thanks for sharing your "Thoughts" ( what I think the most apt to be called this piece).
