My first entry, and it's a poem! in The OpenDiary (OD) Days!

I thought i'd start off my diary with a poem i wrote about a week ago today - it saves me having to write too much to start with so here it is

There's an anguish within me needing to be free'd And a guilt in my mind I refuse to believe With a sorrow in my heart and a tear in my eye Life's complications are much to simplify

There's a fight in my head between right and wrong And a longing to feel I need to belong There's a light in my life that I need to find Excluding the spiritual, meaning in mankind

Understandingness comes from the faith in my heart Which frequently cowers itself in the dark My mind follows hereafter, shuts itself down Not wanting to care, just wanting to drown

What this world has to offer seems bitter and bare Society creates a confusion so I just don't care It's easier to cope and for my mind to contain Than to cry waterfalls and have myself to blame

Yet often, anyway, I feel it's all my fault I feel helpless and hopeless and life comes to a halt I confide to my room, into a pillow I weep And hope it's all a bad dream I had in my sleep

I seek and a search in this life I endure It's like a disease that still has no cure But when I find the medication that I need to consume The flower in my emotions will forever bloom

-Matt
