I would love to hear some of your reactions to this. I posted it in this specific trend so it doesn't interfere with any of the discussions regarding movies. The name of the piece I called it, "The Poet"
The Poet
I have been living in this bizarre world,
and, on it, have I found a single place
that keeps me warm in the ice age:
my soul's pillow, my little space.
The room, filled with remnants of the past,
and the paper, completely blank,
they are friends, willing to feel my blood,
with whom I can always be frank.
I feel, I suffer, I cry, I rejoice,
my body senses the world's deepest tears;
the sadness is pounding inside the chest
as we are surviving more menacing years.
And so I shake, I squirm, I bleed,
coughing up things held in for so long:
and so this song was born out of pressure,
for we cannot be forever strong.
My friend, I am only a human being
who cannot help but drown in great care:
this pen, clenched in these sweaty palms,
is my last bubble of fresh air.
Don't take away the only thing I have!
Let the whiteness listen to my noiseless screams!
And, who knows, maybe someone, someday,
will finally be able to hear my dreams.
