My tortured mind, the only thing that keeps me alive? Pretty funny you may think because its the same thing thats killing me. But what you or no one else could understand its how i feel, and thats better then not feeling at all. All this pain locked inside making me wish i was dead, yet happy im alive. It keeps my excitement still inside, the excitement i know ill feel the moment im dying. Ironic? That im staying alive to experience death. Death is not something to fear, especially for a tortured mind. Why you might ask? Haha why its the only thought i have. Being tortured, burned, stabbed, shot, eaten, skinned, all exciting, far from scary, Because if your not feeling pain then your not feeling happiness, because there's no such thing. Having a tortured mind gives me that advantage, i dont look for what's not there, i look for what's to come.

I Look at the Beauty of the land, I look at the Beauty of the Sea, I look at the clear blue Sky and I see Infinity. I Want In.

deep n complex but i believe constant pain causes one to be happy when the pain or self-torment sub-sides.

Never keep things inside,good friends are there to unlock those doors
That lead to the waters of life.

Perception is not knowledge - poetry is what's beyond the senses, look at your tags -
tells all however, the poem having potential - all you need - honestly tell: Why?

It's just a ride - I chant into the mirror, both exciting and painful. We write and we suffer.
I enjoyed your beautifully sad poem!
