Disconnect
Folder:
30 years in a Hole My disconnection
from the human race
grows at the pace
that I interact
with the mass
that passes
for humanity;
but the question
that creeps
from the deep
is whether
it is me
I see,
or the masses?
And as time slips by,
I'm only lonely
when I see people,
the magic of light
is revealed by shadows,
and the sand that falls
on a hollow grave.
...
do I need to carry the pack again?
I loved the first bit on its own, it stands alone for me and is such a valid question! I wish more of the world would ask it!
I am not so big on the ending, I feel it is slightly disconnected from the first part, also there is a leap between the lonely wording and then the light bit. that being said this line blows my mind ;) okay well not blows my mind more reflects my mind ;)
the magic of light
is revealed by shadows,
Much Love

This is a twilight poem. Not a "sparkling vampires" thing but one I haven't quite got my pen around yet, so maybe I'll figure out how to fix it, as I agree. I think it's going somewhere I REALLY want to go, but hmmm;-)

I knew I liked you. :-). The everyday humdrum of life, the monotony, the misplacement of what is truly important traded for a chance to place the necessities of survival first, can wear the and tear at the fringes of one's inner need to be connected to those things of importance. When we have not been given the chance in childhood to become "fine tuned" to the beat of our own drum, the world can become nothing more than "a sea (soul) of fools". God bless you on your journey to master your path to shine your inner radience...and may it carry you and those whose lives you touch to the well of infinite wisdom, dear Beavis.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

You could never see yourself
You could never see yourself in the masses b. there is only u and u are one of a great kind.

Reminds me of being in a crowded room and being completely alone at the same time, as far as the writing goes to the untrained eye this will be looked at as a negative thing. Words like "shadows and grave" make people uncomfortable. I dig this piece. Sometimes being around humans makes you hate yourself for having the same title. Hard to believe certain people are the same species as you. Not trying to be that person that says "I know how you feel" But, I kind of do in my own way. I'd say good luck but it wouldn't do any good, haha.
