Why bother? by ~Gods-Jester:iconGods-Jester:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Old Poetry Structure > Dark




Why bother about me?
What have I ever done?
No one even turns to see,
So why do I always run?

Run from love, run from life,
Run from all that has meaning.
Consumed in my pain and strife,
Searching for some healing.

But what’s to heal… a broken heart?
A distraught face perhaps?
But why bother with such useless parts,
When the whole is so much crap?

I totally get you on this! I think I have a poem with a similar theme...where did I put it? Hmmm......
No really though, I tend to run from my problems and all, even though there's no one to even notice I was ever there or ever in need...and things like that. Great poem :)
I'll see you if you run now *evil grins* you've drawn attention to yourself by me. lol. It's not much attention, for my span is short, but it's there for now ;) ~Kay

Oouuu.... attention! I didn't know I commanded the evil eye! *mock fear* Lol, but I liked this one a lot myself, because I have some really strong memories of the moment. I think everyone runs (to plagerize Minority Report) but I find that if I wasn't running, my mind would just waste away. Its like mental fitness. We keep looking from some peace of mind, and because we never find it, we have something to keep life interesting and worth pursueing.

Hmm, that's odd. I didn't comment on this? It's a sad-sad one. Sounds like on the verge of jumping out a cliff XD It's a griping piece.

This one was a favourite for a long time because the last couple of lines just summed up so many feelings I had. It is a sad piece because I think sadness is beautiful. Just as beautiful as happiness, if not more. Hmm... how do you know I wasn't on the verge of jumping off a cliff? ..... Duh Duh Daahh!
