Drifting Slowly



Questions, silly answers,
To the pain that's been haunting me.
Yet failing is believing,
That the pain inside is killing see?
The answer to my question,
Lies with the vision, but can it be?

Can you hear me now?
am I drifting from reality?
I can feel this now.
What's become my fantasy?
Do you fear me now?
Or is it just my misery?
I am here…… just drifting slowly

The light I see before me,
So bright, yet still forming.
The vision in your eyes is clear,
Like a shadow in its dawning.
Just hope you understand,
That fear is only flaunting.

Geni Kelepouris

I began writing when i was 16. I enjoy expressing myself through all forms of art ( my profile pic is one of my art pieces). I have had a life full of tragedies and suffer post traumatic stress. I find that art and writing soothes my soul and allows me to heal from all the pain that has been haunting me. I have an obsession with existence and love nothing more than to discuss all the different theories of why we are here. My poems cover a range of topics from love and inspiration to complete random mania. There are also some very deep poems that i needed to write to get the sorrow from my life. I just hope whoever is reading them enjoys them. more…
