Poetry: Contemplation

by LE Rose

Created on: April 12, 2009

I sat on the edge

The edge of the road

The line between insanity and sanity

The line separating me from the world




I sat in the dirt

On the dusty ground,

With the grime covering my clothes

The soot tarnishing my mind




I sat alone

With my thoughts disturbing me

Alone

Without the world

Protruding into me




I sat still

Silenced by the shock

Of the last fad

Society has unveiled

Never ceasing to amaze me




I sat wounded,

Hurt by the words unsaid

Scarred by the things of the past

Still glaringly vivid in my

Memory




I sat afraid

Terrified by what's coming next,

The invisible future I have yet to live




I sat staring

Into the eyes of your expectant followers

Into the eyes of their hope

Into the eyes of ignorant




I sat wondering

If I should believe,

If there is something more

If everything will turn out okay




I sat on the edge

The edge of the path

The line between the truth and the lies

On the line between you and me
