    The clock is broken

     I believe
                It was just
                               An illusion
    A falsehood
                    Not real
                               Just blood coursing through
                                                                     My veins
    Tripping down
                       An endless staircase
                                                   Tears on this rough skin
    I am
          Who I am
                       None can change that
                                                      This is just
                                                                     Growing up
    Mentors of old
                        Have helped me through
                                                         Given me guidance
                                                                                  Shown me truth
    I'll make it
                  Hopefully
                               Though I feel
                                                  The time was wasted

    i love love the way you used the words to create a downfall effect... it helped along the rythm of the poem and it was overall awsome!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
