Awakening

I am standing in the midst
of a sickening crowd
With their skin tanned orange and
their hairspray and Jesus shoes.

I am a living pillar in between
unenthusiastic gravestones
of blondes.

            I am dancing.
            I sing at the top of my lungs.
            I smile.

I am so high.
         adrenaline, pumping through me.
Music pulsing with my heart.

            I cry out.
            I shout.
I lift my hands in ecstasy.
            I am alive.

"I am a living pillar in between

This line was by far, my favorite. These days I see youth and alike try so hard to be unique, they fail to realize they're falling into the nasty habit of trend.

I also enjoyed your portrayal of life amongst the dead.

Thank you for your observations, a relaying them to us, in such a lovely way.

Individuality is such a unique thing to find amongst today's society and it's wonderful that you withhold the happiness and self confidence to free yourself from the crowd. I love the last part, it really shows the way that we are all meant to live.

Yes, a plague on materialism and image. It's a poet's life for me! I read 'adrenaline' as 'poetry pumping' through me.
