a prisoner in my own skin
my name is stormeeker 223
i am 23
i clsoe my eyes so i don't have to see
the face in the mirror
looking back at me
it is painful to look at
and painful to bear
to see half the mask painted there
half my face is stone and unfeeling
sending my stomach and heart reeling
i open my eyes to see i have remained
one half flesh
one half stone
a mask on a face all its own
i wish i knew why it way this way
i just know i do not want it to stay
a prison in my own skin
i am 23
i clsoe my eyes so i don't have to see
the face in the mirror
looking back at me
it is painful to look at
and painful to bear
to see half the mask painted there
half my face is stone and unfeeling
sending my stomach and heart reeling
i open my eyes to see i have remained
one half flesh
one half stone
a mask on a face all its own
i wish i knew why it way this way
i just know i do not want it to stay
a prison in my own skin

About this poem:
i was diagnosed with bells palsy today. i have spent most the day being made fun of becuase half my face will no longer move.
true story; couple days ago
cruising down a two lane
doing 62 in a 55
just got empty my
18 wheeler
sunny day
not a thing can go wrong
was a little ways away
for the car in front
saw his brake lights
for I knew I couldn't stop
he hit them hard
had not got a choice
looked around what can I do
turned his signal on
and hit them even harder
was on him in a second
no place to go on this two lane
couldn't pass on the left
he would turned into me
had no choice
went to the right
was either him
or me in a ditch
i chose the ditch
maybe I had a chance
not much room
a 5ft shoulder
the car went to the middle
just a little
gave me just enough room
for me to take that shoulder
I avoided him and the ditch
don't ask me how
an angel must been watching
for sure he/she woud been killed
only takes a second
for things to go wrong
even on a beautiful day

About this poem:
highway 33 in wisconsin. I was far enough back I had plenty of time to figure my way out, go through my choices but not enough time to stop. when i took that narrow just a little room to the right i was right next to him at this time he still didn't make his left turn, only until my tractor was even with him on the right. would been right through that car. don't matter how far we are back, don't slam your brakes on give us plenty of notice on these two lane roads. before you hit your brakes or just flash your brake lights once or twice real quick to let us know your about to turn. or something like that.
Thank You

The Life I'm Living
There are times when I ask myself
What is this life that I’m living
Each day from one to the next
They all seem to run together
No happiness, no joy, just pain
And none of it was my doing
First a disease, one that is so rare
Just one in ten or so million
Body is wracked with terrible pain
My limbs being slowly twisted
In the end I know I’ll die
But I could still live til ninety
If that’s not enough, things got worse
A car the footpath mounted
Crushed my legs, lost them both
And killed my wife, my lover
But still I live, I don’t know why
I refuse to give up, surrender
So next time you moan how tough it is
Spare a thought for me, the life I’m living
What is this life that I’m living
Each day from one to the next
They all seem to run together
No happiness, no joy, just pain
And none of it was my doing
First a disease, one that is so rare
Just one in ten or so million
Body is wracked with terrible pain
My limbs being slowly twisted
In the end I know I’ll die
But I could still live til ninety
If that’s not enough, things got worse
A car the footpath mounted
Crushed my legs, lost them both
And killed my wife, my lover
But still I live, I don’t know why
I refuse to give up, surrender
So next time you moan how tough it is
Spare a thought for me, the life I’m living

About this poem:
I saw a man the other day who was just a torso on a wheel chair. It got me to thinking ... we are so easily ready to complain as to how hard we have it yet the truth sometimes is actually the opposite ... maybe we need to focus on the positive things in our life ... there are always people that are worse off than we are ... count our blessingsgreeting
Hi a very very very special day to me I just wanna greet my self Happy Happy Happy Birthday Shoelace

About this poem:
to greet my self
Piscean Peace
silence tide
waves of comfort
soothe my ears
cool my soul
wash my heart
liquid quiet
with closed eyes
some imagine death
dark and still
dormancy mine
transcendence
welcome
spirit released
to wander
explore
return
wringing wet
with rejuvenation
in perfect balance
ready to battle
on this
desert dry
clamorous
land
waves of comfort
soothe my ears
cool my soul
wash my heart
liquid quiet
with closed eyes
some imagine death
dark and still
dormancy mine
transcendence
welcome
spirit released
to wander
explore
return
wringing wet
with rejuvenation
in perfect balance
ready to battle
on this
desert dry
clamorous
land

hope is creating a garden in my life
hope is a word often said
yet undernourished
in these broken healing days
it has planted seeds in my heart
its an opportunity
for rebirth snd awakening
in the midst of the frustration
it quietly blooms
reminding me that as the days ahead
bring a stronger me that it is a time to revel to contemplate
to grow a better character
that blossoms into something wondrous in my life
hope

in the midst of the frustration
it quietly blooms
reminding me that as the days ahead
bring a stronger me that it is a time to revel to contemplate
to grow a better character
that blossoms into something wondrous in my life

Life Force
It seeps through your pores
And into your veins
Out through your blood
An into your brain
A feeling so strong
It overwhelms pain
Can make you smile
Again an again
It follows us around
For far an wide
Has no limitations
Has no pride
Seeking an soothing
As it goes
It never stops
It always flows
The beat may change
From time to time
Stories that are told
Make people entwine
The reasons being
Are so sublime
Thats why music
Is so divine
And into your veins
Out through your blood
An into your brain
A feeling so strong
It overwhelms pain
Can make you smile
Again an again
It follows us around
For far an wide
Has no limitations
Has no pride
Seeking an soothing
As it goes
It never stops
It always flows
The beat may change
From time to time
Stories that are told
Make people entwine
The reasons being
Are so sublime
Thats why music
Is so divine

About this poem:
it is what it is .....
No Title
As the nights grow short and my soul grows long
you can find me by the river
where hope caries on
tell all these stones in my heart
were only sand in the sea
you can find me by the river
where hope caries on
tell all these stones in my heart
were only sand in the sea

Post CommentLost Never To Be Found
Lost, never to be found. Time for the circus to come into town.
Everyone wears a smile. While I'm hidden behind a mask of a frown. Around and round. Someone help me off this merry go round. In so deep. No chance of ever being found. My God I'm sinking about to drown. Watch as my broken heart falls into pieces to the ground. I'm screaming yet nobody hears a single sound. Buried alive. How hard does my heart pound?
My heart and soul are dipped into an ocean of teardrops. Seems like this sadness never really ever stops. Here I am bound by the planet Mars. Somehow found by the greatness of stars in a universe of pain. Only to be lost and not found yet once again.
