in restless thought
going in sane trying to stay sane
engulfed with battles that i fought

i am crying but i am tearless
its the kind of pain that hurts the most
daily on my knees trying to confess

in slow motion i remain
with hands across my chest
looking at me and wionder why i never changed

sometimes late is to late
things never change
day is still day and night still night
self pride and self righteous has sealed my fate

but i once prayed with every breath
did anyone hear me??
now i sit hear looking at me
and i remain outside my inner self

this poem is not written the way it should be read. The misspellings are sheer laziness.

Here it is fixed up. This poem reads quickly, and if you rearrange it, it's actually damn good, using all the poetry toolz and skillz.

it's a pretty fucking rockin' poem like that, imo. You could scream this, and everyone would not only listen, but hear you and relate intuitively.

First of all,

Edit. Your spelling and grammatical errors jar me while reading this. If you use self-pride, then righteous should be a noun rather than an adjective. and thusly should be righteousness. To should be too, etc.

I think that this has good content, but there's a lovely rhythm to the poem that is just barely missed in the writing of it. Work on this one, tweak it a bit. It's got the potential for brilliance, I think.
