    to feel like a man

     memories, spinning around in my head. unable to close my eyes, even to go to bed.
     i sit up at night and wonder about the things that have gone by me. the people i should have met, the sights i've missed, and want to forget, just to be free.
    free of these nightmares that haunt my sleep when i close my eyes.free of the pain in my hand, that, at times, makes me cry.
    i am not dead, nor am i alive. just lingering to find life again. a lover, a friend to whom i can thrive. out there somewhere, i feel it in my bones. when my hand aches and i'm all alone. she waits for me. calling my name, like the wind through the trees. just to feel love once more before i die. to feel a womans touch, a sigh, hair on my shoulder, the touch of a hand. i'd give all i have, right now. just to feel like a man.

    This is good, We can all relate to your writing, I think it's good that you write what you feel instead of what the readers THINK you should feel.. We Might have a lot in common, Maybe orur works can help each other cope in our hells... Might I suggest you read LG Disturb " Pain by pen" He's good. I think you'll like his work. Nice write :) All the best -Marion-

    Such sadness. It seems to be the theme with your works, but it gives insight to who you are, where you've been, and what you've been through. Sometimes I wish that I could eradicate the sadness and turmoils in the world, but I have come to realize that the things we go through that make us feel weak, less than we were at the start, in the end make us that much stronger. My condolences- Kaitlyn

    thank you, fallonbird. i write about how i feel. and, yes, it's mostly sadness. that's all i feel. my heart is empty and my soul is longing.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
