Merry-Go-Round

[Kirei Shijin]

Spiraling down
In my merry-go-round
Lightning speed fast it goes
Where it stops
Nobody knows
not even I
I close my eyes
But the feeling's still there
I feel the helplessness hiding
In the corners of my heart
I feel the despair
So I close off my mind
And embrace my insides
My arms have grown weak
They are done holding onto
A past of defeat
My hands reach out
Trying to find something to grasp
But the memories are still there
I'm still falling down fast

Spiraling down
In my merry go round
I'll be sure to hit the ground
But maybe someone will catch
Me before I hit the solid cold floor
I'll continue to wait
And open my heart's steel door.
Fate
Is on his way to un-break what has been
repeatedly broken.
His eyes will mend the darkness of a black engulfed soul.
He will add color to my canvas, and brighten up what was once so dull.

The love he has to give, will slow down
time, my merry-go-round
This love will be ongoing
This love song will always be loud
You will always warm my inner being
Even when it's snowing

To me, darling, you'll always be glowing.

Your Love is what makes the world go round.

This is so great Kirei ^____^ you explained the feeling super well too..many have felt it and they'd probably say the same thing ^^ when we're at our lowest and everything seems lost..like we're falling, about to hit the ground, of course we want someone to catch us, we want someone to mend our hearts. We just have to hope the right person comes along to do that ^^

I'm glad I could write a poem that someone could really relate to. Thank you for your feedback and thank you for being such a great inspiration!

[Anime-Prince]

Wow.. that was a brilliant poem. The structure of it surprised me at first. Usually your structure is adventurous anyway, but this time it was almost unrecognisable. It is such a good thing. The way the sentences merged into one, was impressive. It was like one long thought. It had it's own light, and it's own pace. The pace was staggered like a thought process. It jumped between personal, and metaphorical statements. They connected in a way that seemed improvisational, even though I'm sure a lot of thought went in to it. This was such a very good poem. I'm so impressed with the feeling it inspired.

[Kirei Shijin]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me. I actually didn't put much thought to it at all, I just started typing and in a matter of 10 minutes what you see here was my result.^^

Wow I love the symbolism in this poem so much. I agree with Anime Prince, you're style is always changing and I like this one so much. The way it was structure is perfect and it seriously connected with the image of a merry go round.

You can kind of say its like everyone's life in a way. The merry go round of life is all happy at first, but then we are hit by a bombardment of problems that causes us to lose our grip and lose our balance. And no matter how strong we may be, sometimes a little help from another person is what we need to lift ourselves up and continue to enjoy the rest of that merry go round.

Btw, I hope that person glow for you, so that you'll never all in the darkness.

Thank you!! That was exactly what I was trying to say Sigma. You always get me and you always glow.
