A New Path



I turn my back and shake off this disgust,
as your body of lies turns to dust.
I've wiped my hands of this lust,
and my salt sprayed eyes no longer cry tears of rust.
Its a long walk home towards a life of trust.
Wading knee deep through lfes emotional crust.
But each step becomes easier than the last,
and a divine wind that blows at my back pushes my
spirit further from your grasp.
And so as the wet ink from this pen dries on this page,
so does my desire for your lies and your luke warm
touch of love on my face.
I look back once at my insecurities in the distance,
Then turn around and keep walking with no regrets,
and no resistance.

d-ory@hotmail.comIf I try to describe myself I can't cause I don't really know. I think I'm a bunch of different personalities in one body. I' am dark and a little depressed behind closed doors. But towards my friends I' am confident and happy. I struggle for acceptance from people but I do a great job of hiding it.Poetry is my release. Without it I could'nt function. But I think I was always meant to have it. I had never written a poem until I was 22 years old. I did'nt even know I could write a poem until someone special inspired me then shattered my heart. I believe this is why I write mostly dark, depressive poems. Because that's how it all started for me.My tag is weight of the world. Reason being I believe the weight of the world is on the shoulders of a few. And most of us are just standing around consuming and polluting waiting for others to clean up after us. I reflect some of this in my poetry.I live in Hobart, Australia and I' am 24 years old. Thanks for reading. Leave comments, your thoughts and I will return the favour.P.S There are certain words spelt differently in Australia so please keep this in mind when reviewing my poetry. And I 'am on facebook under rosco daw. E-mail at top of page.... more…
