Double Sided

Emotions numb, I've come undone a long time ago. In a trance, this is a second chance it's all I know I've got to make it this time, keep my feelings blind turn off my heart and listen to my mind. Mountains weren't made for climbing with string I've got to have strength to reach my everything Close doors on dreaming make things happen Set sail to the oceans becoming the captain... what about me says the little voice inside my soul, the free spirit I've buried in the suppressive dark hole, chemical passivity blocking the energy staring at the mirror just wanting to be me I'm a clown with a fake upside frown changing the ground so I won't let you down But what about me! what about me! Validation of my frustration This is the situation, product of generation I'm not a robot, someone you forgot, Pills sedated, I f*king hate it retching repeat I need to break it. I can't be a stupid drone who cares if I'm alone I'm not the enemy I just want to be me Break it! Break it! But what if there's better on the side, what if I can make if I tried. teeter on the edge, a thin ledge, I'm falling! falling! where ever I will land, that is where I will stand. for now I'll keep falling, falling.

Casarah, a powerful lyric. Wow! Your "Double Sided" is double edged :) I loved ~Mountains weren't made for climbing with string~I've got to have strength to reach my everything~ And even though you're "falling", `where ever you land is where you'll stand.' ~Mark

This is genius. 'close doors on dreaming make things happen// set sail to the Oceans becoming the Captain' great motivation, and I love the double edged ending. A fine write, and a fave, thanks. Viv x

listen to that little voice, casarah - he (or she) is telling it like it really is (or should be!)

If you could teach people to do this, you would be so wealthy you would not be able to spend it all: "turn off my heart and listen to my mind." This poem reminds me of the time I kept yelling "my turn!" and could not stop. Thank you for the reminder.
