Endless For Miles

[Luhy]

Don't tell me that I'm perfect
You've only seen one side
You see the smilies and laughter
But you don't see all I hide

I'm a mess inside, you see
Always longing for praise
I write poems and stories
To justify the phase

I've never belonged anywhere
And everyone I love takes off
I have a strong visage
But I worry inside I'm too soft

I wonder just why I was born
Into a life of emptiness and torment
Developing such inappropriate morals
Keeping me from getting violent

I write and joke
Love and lose
All to feel loved
But fail whichever I choose

I rescued their dreams
And abandonned my own
I saved their house
I paid their loan

And yet, as the burden
I sit and ponder why
Was I born
Without my wings to fly?

I'm surrounded by anger and hate
Family and friends that go irrate
I'm waiting for my higher call
Yet all I can seem to do is fall

I lost my freedoms to restore theirs
My dreams have fallen into nightmares
I walk this lonely open road
Feeling as though I'm going to explode

Maybe I'm someone's test subject
How much pain can a human collect?
I do a good job of masking with smiles
But this road is endless
Endless for miles

















This is a transitional poem, that keeps the same tone and message over time... the rhyme scheme changes on purpose too and has a meaning for why it does XP

like this one a lot. pretty much what i'll do if i;m in a certain condition XP. it's like pouring ur troubles and heart out on paper (or in this case..on forum?).. neway, nice rhyming schemes and the way it changes towards the end~
also it has sad messages in it.

p/s: ulquiora is ur friend >.>

It's an interesting poem. You seem to be emo here. The rhyme riddle makes it even more interesting. To me, there seems to be three different parts with different styles of rhyme. I think the 1st and 3rd are both about the relationship on the internet, since they use the same rhyme (the rhyme sandwich the other unrhyming sentence, like ßaþaæbøb¿c£c), and in the 1st one you write smilies instead of smiles. And the 2nd part is about real life. That's the best interpretation I can make. Did think that it's about different time but it doesn't seem to be the case.

actually the idea was, i started in the present, in a conversation... then went back in time, and ended with an over-view narration XP you caught the smilies in the first stanza and smiles in the last though ^^ i was surprised someone noticed XD it was meant to be symbolic too~ theres also a bit more hidden as well... and yup... i was emo for like an hour when i wrote it lol

Uh.. I didn't notice the last one T_T

That's why I thought the first and the last one are both about internet (just assuming from the same rhyme T_T)
