You may, well hopefully you’ve missed me enough to have noticed an absence of posts here recently and although the following is not really an explanation, it may give an inkling as to why. I never wanted to write, a sort of dismal post on my blog, but this is life and this sort of portrays my current mood inside. I don’t like this inner turmoil, I feel it doesn’t suit me.
I’ve never written a poem before, in fact I left out a whole section on poetry in my Leaving Cert (still passed though…phew!). I gotta say though, although it breathes feelings of forlornness, on reading it back I’m actually quite proud of it. Anyway, away we go……
The Glass Case of Emotion
It is a sound proof box
You stand inside it screaming
Behind a door that’s tightly locked
You’re banging on the windows
Your eyes are scared and wild
The glass looking in is rose-tinted
So they can only see your smiles
The Glass Case of Emotion
You pace around it every day
Looking for a crack of hope
To help aid your breakaway
Sadness and despair creep over you
You can feel yourself ripping at the seams
Your inner light is being tested
It’s trying to quell your hopes and dreams
The Glass Case of Emotion
Is an unsettling place to be
It’s just like floating out in space
Nobody can hear you scream
