    -------------------------------------------


    On the path to resistance, my soul sits and shivers,
    Entombed on a ship with no bearing,
    Achild in a maze,lost in lifes rivers,
    Fuck this , fuck humanity, fuck caring.


    Anxieties threads weave a shawl of oppression,
    Bang goes the light in my head,
    In my conscience , a bullets impression,
    I`m breathing, though inside i`m dead.

    Tears of my fears are bound in chains,
    Temptation a fleeting reward,
    The devil devours my moral remains,
    Salvation i cannot afford.

    As i cut deep and hard, on a whim my last wish,
    A silent cry my last sound,
    A baby, a boy, a man, and now here,
    In this vessel,
    As captain,
    I drown...

      Well I'm certainly glad to know your not really this depressed because that would be horrible for you.
    So since your not this depressed I assume you just wanted to try something different?

      hello Graham, came in here to see your latest hmmm very nice. I like the feeling on line three in stanza one very nice you have gone with the ship metaphor in stanza one but in stanza 2 you drifted a little. which is ok you don’t have to stick with a type of metaphor if you don’t want, you can take it into different paradigms. if you wanted to stick to it, perhaps make it more solid going along with the title I would….

    …….on line 2 you have “bang goes a light in my head” maybe “bang! it fires off a light in my head” then next line “in my conscience, a cannon’s impression” just going along with the whole ship thing here. in line one you have “anxieties threads weave a shawl of oppression” I do like that a lot “anxiety tears holes in the flimsy sails” hmm well it is a start but i dont want to take away from that first line cause it does kick some major arse! in the third stanza I like the whole chains and Devil part. maybe add “Davy Jones” in that stanza somewhere, yes I know I’m so old fashioned at times. the rest I like a lot.

    corrections: stanza one line three: A [space] child, maze, [space] lost, “life’s” instead of “lifes” stanza 2 line 4 “I’m”

    overall I like your metaphors and your feelings in this. very nicely done,

      This was a good look into feeling completely lost and hopeless. The use of your profanity added to this, so much more so than just using the word for the sake of using the word. It's good to know that you weren't really feeling that way and awesome that you challenged yourself to write about something completely different. This was a lot different than what I'm used to reading from you and proves some diversity-which is a fabulous thing I may add.

    Either way, you did a great job tapping into those feelings of despair. I liked the end of this...a captain who truly loves his ship will sink right along with it and that just added the perfect touch for me at the end.

    Keep challenging yourself, you did a great job here!

      This is a very good poem. I was relieved to read the description and know that this wasnt something you were going through now. You have done a great job capturing this state of mind and putting it into words. I like how you used the ship as your vessel and you as the captain, in the first stanza with the ship reference and then again in your final stanza. I like this poem, very well written and expressed. Take care.

      wow i like your description before anything because your idea to challenge yourself to write a piece like this as if you were suicidal was wonderful and a bit tough and you did a great job. Your words just flowed as if you were in reality connected to that pain and in need to relieve that which caused it. I loved it when you said

    Anxieties threads weave a shawl of oppression

    i could imagine your anxiety disguised as a spider weaving with its silvery threads a shawl of oppression, and your play on words is wonderful. When you said bang goes the light in my head, i took it in two meanings from the perspective that you lost your faith and that you lost life itself. that whole stanza was really nice and deep "im breathing though inside Im dead" its like you ended life and yet the pain wont go away, and what you wanted most our of anything was to make the pain go away.

    When you said the devil devours my moral remains i could imagine one of those italian paintings where the devil sits in his throne and welcomes the sinner to him home as you try and bribe anyone for salvation but realize that it cost more than what you have, i saw it as only those with enough power can afford salvation usually meaning those who sin more can afford it compare to those who have committed such small sins and yet those are the ones who are punished. You ended this poem beautifully connecting with the beggining stanza of the ship and how you being the captain of this sinner ship drown with it and it leaves me satisfied with such an ending and sad because you can be forgiven for your sins.

    I loved it and I hope you keep challenging yourself like this because it turns out to be great. Must check out your other pieces.
