    Poem Commentary

    Kinda weird... it kept going into all types of directions and I kept having to rein it in. It still might not make compete sense but hey... poetry doesn't always have to. Take Anne Sexton as an example. Hope you like it though. 

    Lost

    I lost myself that winter
    I fell out of myself
    which made me lose that grip on my sanity
    its almost funny
    that I have seemed to misplace me
    That night the light inside me died 
    like
    the bittersweet ending of a sunset
    for me the sun did not again rise
    the sun finally dipped out of the sky
    and thats when the light disappeared from my eyes
    It seemed like forever I swirled down that dark cold
    forever falling
    with nothing there to reach for
    nothing there to help me pull myself free
    I almost grew content
    with all my self-loathing
    yet the farther I fell
    the colder it became
    finally i decided it was time for a change
    I had finally reached the bottom 
    and could have gone to no further low
    so I began to make myself again 
    during that next winter's snow
    I do not claim to now be complete
    for a notion such as that can only be imaginary
    everyone is constantly finding ways to improve oneself
    and there will always eventually be a time that you will need help
    I just will claim one thing
    and that is I found that I was never gone
    i was there in my pocket the entire time
    what had actually happened was i had just lost my mind.
    I found it though
    I promise
    ;)

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
