    As I Lie Here

     I wonder what other people are thinking
    Are they as happy as they can be
    Are their lives filled with tranquility
    Four walls are closing in and suffocating me

    Get me out of here to smell the fresh air
    The cool breeze might appeal to my heart
    Walking alone is a way of life for me
    Facing today and tomorrow's uncertainty

    My future is vanity in the eyes of some
    A dream is a wish that I need to come
    As day turns into night, I awaken
    A monster in the mirror who's forsaken

    Tragedy belies a happy smile on my face
    My daydreams take me to another place
    Lost in a world of the unnoticed and forgotten
    Anxiously awaiting a new day with new possibilities

    I also have mood swings but with the proper medication I stay up beat. Your poem is no mystery and your thoughts are well taken. Awesome poetic persuasion. LOL, BDC

    I try. Some days they come out right, and some days I feel like I can't write. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed a small piece of me. Take care friend.

    Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them very much.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
