    Poem Commentary

    another one written in '94. seems like that was a pretty crappy year for me, huh? well,  i have plenty more from that era, on up to now. it had to get better eventually, but it took a while. such is life.

    Don't Dwell

     What dark force drives me?
    Searching the endless days
    for something I know I
    may never find. Wasting time
    looking into faces and seeing
    only empty responses in their eyes.
    Feeling like a vampire who's last
    remaining ounces of his own blood
    are melting away and being replaced
    by some foreign body who's soul
    purpose is to introduce abject longing,
    loneliness, and self-pity. I am not
    the person I used to be, nor the person
    I became after that. I don't know who
    I am anymore, or where I am going, or who with!
    One thing I do know is that I am tired,
    of looking, wanting, feeling, not knowing, caring.
    All I can do is just live and
    see what is going to happen, if my
    heart and soul can find that much
    patience and understanding.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
