Sleep...



sleep..

are you but a figment of my imagination.. ?

it seems to be..

otherwise i wouldn't fantasise...

your existence :(

ahh to be free of the tenures..

stress brings..

the stupid beliefs...

the f**ked up dreams...

the rash decisions..

the f**ked up visions..

and all the things ive wanted to see..

only to realise it isnt me..

its not where i want to be..

freedoms fought for lifes protection..

no need to learn the same old lesson..

been done..

been won..

no one walks the same collision..

of constant hurt and frustration..

we grow from these to form new ways...

not go back and reform those dark old days

so when your faced with this picket fence..

one side there's independence and freedom..

the other ignorance and bliss...

what would you do in this situation?

hope sleep comes quick?

and see what manifests?

if only...

or i wouldnt be here writing this..

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…
