Ripples

Where does time go,

when looking into the beyond?

Do you see the ripples,

when you disturb the pond?

Or is the stone thrown,

not to your desired effect?

Because it creates waves,

that will soon wreck.

It is at the epicenter,

where the tragedy begins.

If you wouldn't have thrown that stone,

The beyond wouldn't look so dim.

So maybe time shouldn't be spent,

looking too far ahead.

Before you think of throwing stones,

You should see where you are led.

I ask again where does time go,

If you look at today?

You wouldn't be so quick to throw a stone

If it would only end up in your way.

So how rough do you want your waters,

for it is your time you disturb.

If your hand is still full of stones,

I'm afraid you didn't hear a word.

2005

2005, starting a new year

I promise myself no more tears.

No more unwanted pain

It's the year my life will change.

I'm so sick of regretting 2004

This year will open brand new doors!

No more worries about what's been done

Only focus on the new live begun.

All the friends and past relationships

can't say I won't truly miss.

But as I turn over a new leaf

The person I was I can no longer be.

Sad as my heart continues to break

yet, it's best for everyone's sake.

 

So, 2005 is the year for me

No longer living in failure, but VICTORY!

?

Excuse me if I feel a little poetic

It seems no one is sympathetic

tired of being apologetic

because it's starting to feel real pathetic.

So let me speak these words of rhyme

Show you what goes through my mind

as I sit here and pass this time

reflecting on what was left behind.

A person I thought I had by my side

yet, I guess love is able to divide

in her I should not have confide

because her love only quivered and died.

People I thought I could trust

how quickly friendships turn to dust

as loyalties began to bust

leaving me stained with the color of rust.

To my family I caused so much pain

the cause I need not to explain

look to others, yet find myself to blame

myself the only one to be shamed

A life riddled of addiction

bringing chaos and total destruction

That created  brain malfunction

with insanity in it's conjunction 

 

So as you can plainly see

It's time for some disaster relief

on the person I used to be

before my life completely depletes.
