Unpublished New Poem


Stress Ball

My entire life has been a lie
Me, the real me
Has been the skater on the fractured ice
Escaped prisoner of my own Alcatraz
I have never lived up to my name
My name was never my choice
I’m tired of living this lie
Counterfeit currencies of second hand energies
The snatched seconds of satisfaction
The snatched seconds of contentment
Rebound, Rebound,
My stress ball is aching and bruised

The Lonely Man

The Lonely Man The sweetest taste, is bitter now My purest thoughts are poisoned through The ghost of fate, keeps mocking me From every scar I've earned, in every drink I've drowned I've felt the joy of the thing called sin I've stole and bought but never received I've had my fill, my spilling cup But now I'm empty, a shell of fear and doubt. Stand not so tall now, my voice breaks up I never believed the pace would slow Now I feel the cold and I count the suns The man who wears the guilty coat should realise, That life will have the last laugh You won't outrun your lies. And now I feel what silence means, In all its taunting Looking to the heaven I don't believe is there for me anymore I always was the bad tooth in a smile But who I was isn't who I've become. Every morning I stand in front of an unforgiving mirror Life has the last laugh, Life has the last laugh. V Topp https://www.amazon.co...

Fractured

Fractured Nobody tells you how it really is That you can't trust anyone but yourself Manipulation is decriminalised Envy is the ultimate control Life is a failure If you try to stay in light Life is a failure If your words don't back up your hide Holding out a hand for help Puckering your lips for a kiss The rumbling thunder of discontent Life is to be worshipped Life is to be cherished The hardest thing is to be good The hardest thing is to stay good at heart Is to wish everyone else well As they fracture your sense of calm Your thoughts of well being Safety is within Safety is from within Life is being at one At one with the living world we share It's alive, more alive than yourself In this short time experience we're here.

Imitation Of Life

Imitation Of Life This world is my playground, mine I lockdown the borders, I push the island away from the mainland Detached myself through choice from this fiction called life The only realities I acknowledge now are at the end of my own fantasies I create my own big bang I the creator of my own utopia I alone and with an unpoisoned mind My thoughts were always interrupted in the other place I tried to blend in but it was too high a compromise My chime didn’t fit with the mundane drone It to me is a grotesque imitation of life.
