These next few months are going to be busy as I take on more part-time work but I’m still committed to posting three times a day. If you haven’t already, check out my film and tv comics channel @moviegrapevine, or my writing channel @wmoviegrapevine.
This piece follows from my continued resolution to write more poetry pieces. It is my attempted distillation of all the negativity and worries that I’m trying to cut out of my life. This piece is also takes lines from my most recent post to @wmoviegrapevine.
The Darkness
I can sense happiness now,
Ebbing and flowing with the words and actions of those around you,
Being pulled along like a dog on a leash,
When your walkers vanish,
Or show their true colours,
I’ll be back to lead you down a different path,
I know you’ll let me in,
You always do when the outside world lets you down,
Let me whisper to you again,
Tell you how your hard work will never pay off,
How you’ll decay in a cubicle,
Never living your dreams,
Let me tell you how you’ll always be lonely,
Your friends are all leaving you,
Other cities call to them,
Or maybe you have more competition,
Girlfriends, wives, children,
The things you know you won’t have anytime soon,
Don’t you wonder why?
Can you really blame it all on them?
Their poor taste?
Or is it just that you lack something that appeals to them?
What is it exactly?
Don’t you want me to tell you?
