Apartments Are Glorified Motel Rooms

 

At night I am haunted by

Sad whispers that may

Or may not exist

 

My paranoia of other people’s pain…

 

Everything becomes a lonesome sob

To my strained nerves…

 

The city is out to bring me down

It knows I’m overly sympathetic

The melancholy siren

Floating on a humid wind

Of tears and faint screams…

 

I’d wrap these nights

In sun drenched sheets

And sing the damned

Soothing lullabies

On street corners

And in the shadowed alleyways

If I had the courage…

 

Stay strong all you of destitution

And hardship

 

Find your dreams

Amongst the living

And fulfill your destiny

ahh.. loneliness is at the core of this. i can feel you whispering this to yourself in the dark wee hours when it feels like the world is pressing in on you like a heavy velvet blanket. noone on earth is awake for you or with you or even aware of you.

why did thisgive me shades of kerouac?

This was a very very well written piece..i just don't know how to write a review good enough for this.There are phrases which made me almost choke here..so much of strong emotions in them...
The city is out to bring me down
It knows I’m overly sympathetic
The melancholy siren
Floating on a humid wind
Of tears and faint screams…oh..now that line when you say,the city is out to bring me down,it knows i am overly sympathetic..there is such fluidity and such lingering melancholy in your words,yet the melancholy doesn't break you down..you seem to find solace in your own words and climb out of your melancholy as you pen down your words ,as over here..Stay strong all you of destitution
And hardship

Find your dreams
Amongst the living
And fulfill your destiny..you ended it on such positive note.

This was a very beautiful piece.
That's all I really can say.
No improvements, or anything for that matter.
It was just a beautiful piece.
