Welcome To Adulthood (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 12)

Am I crazy for thinking there's more?

Because I feel like this can't be all

Could I find it if I knew what to look for?

Don't say there's nothing behind this wall

Everything contains something deeper

Fear would love to prove that theory wrong

Going the other route because it's cheaper

Hoping what I need won't pass me along

Impossible things happen all the time

"Just believe," they all say

Kinder things have happened to evil souls

Let's not talk about that today

My mind is a wandering battle

Never ending at any point

Over bearing and keeps me rattled

Promising my dreams and fears are joint

Quiet moments do me no good

Rationalization is my worst enemy

Sometimes I don't think as I should

Trying to find a permanent remedy

Understanding is the hardest

Volunteering my sanity

Wishing on stardust

Xanax helps my inhumanity 

Yelling my loudest won't do me any good

Zookeepers stand by to lock up this animal inside 

The prompt today was to create a poem with 26 lines using different letters of the alphabet. I decided to go in alphabetical order.

Cheers! (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 12

I'll do whatever it takes to get to you

Slit a throat, rob a soul, whatever I need to do

Because this burning desire just won't go away

And it's eating me inside day after day

I lust for your ending

Now I'm done with pretending

That it doesn't mean that much to me

Because even when I close my eyes it's you I see

This wanting inside

Will never subside

And this fascination

Just keeps me waiting

Some call it a dream, some say it's an obsession

I know I won't be happy until you're in my possession

My head's off my shoulders, my mind's enraptured

 I won't rest or sleep until it's you that I captured

Now I'm wishing on numbers and skeleton keys

And I spend everyday down on my knees

I'll keep on working until I'm buried in the dirt

Here's to hoping that one of these will work...

Cheers!
