sheepshead.

hey guys, so I've really wanted to submit something to the Sheepshead review which is a book our school puts out ever year with a collection of works done by students. anyway, i've always been to nervous or anxious to do it so i decided that i would finally do it this year seeing that i wont be here next year and the submit date is on my birthday, hopefully i will get accepted. anyway so i will be submitting two poems which if you didnt know i write on the frequent. i will post one up tonight in this message i just finished it about 5 minutes about but i like it. it explains where im at right now. how i think really simple and you kind of just have to flow with it have an imagination and let it talk to you. the other poem will go up some time this week. i wrote it last year and got great responses from everyone that read it including a tear or two. i've been waiting for the right time to let it out and let everyone read it so when im in that kind of mood i will let you in. but for how here is what i've got. like i said before, please dont check on me after reading this...its not a cry for help i swear. thanks for reading!!! ENJOY!


(titleless)
step.
step.
prevail.
survive.

breathe once.
breathe twice.
breathe enought to keep alive.

closed eyes
closed mouth
closed mind
closed heart
           life without you:
           bleak. stark.

step. repeat.
glide on home.
just keep living
until the day is gone.

turn. toss.
roll. reach.
open them.
close them.
reality mirrors dream.

awaken.
lay.
think.
decide.
          is today another day worth being alive?
