Decay / Dream
July 6, 2009
More than anything
it was
what
nobody expected
or (wanted)
decided
it would
become
unlike every
victim or
“survivor”
as they say
before it
resistance
is
safety
But silence
is ecstasy
moreover
silence is
isolation
and ignorance
yet ignorance
is
loud and victims
“survivors” (you)
are
nothing that
consumes
everything*
that we
thought
we cared
for and
destruction
follows
instruction
everything
*but us
silence
is
lost
The world*
*of man
is
scattered
around
us
(to stay)
but we
remain
silent
“survival”
is
surely
death

I agree about it being a bit confusing...I also know that indentations don't really work on here, so that is one thing in my opintion that makes it more confusing. It is good though! :)

yeah, it was a little confusing for me and i wrote it. more or less this poem is completely random, i just threw something on the page. it's one of the few poems of mine that were written in a day, the others take around three days.
