A rather heavy heart...

A rather heavy heart weighs me down today. When will I lift me up, tomorrow, next week, next month, never, who can say. Painfully alone in the middle of a crowd. Do I want to keep mum or do I want to scream my head out. Should I burn myself out and rise like a phoenix, or should I stay numb and watch the clock as it ticks. I always knew that life could be crazy funny, but I never really guessed that the joke could've been on me. Heartbreak can really make a nobody into a poet. Look at all the insane lines I wrote.

In Stead of Me

Stand in my stead  And Thou shalt see  Life,  As it is for me.  Thou shalt, fear what I fear  Love, what I love  And,  Live through the quandaries  That I have lived,  Know the pains  That I have endured;  Find what drives me forward  And what inhibits me,  What makes my heart  Flutter  And what agonizes it.  Stand in my stead  And Thou shalt see  The person,  Deep inside of me.
