First poem of 2012

Celebrate, ladies and gentlemen - I have a poem for you all. It's a special one...it's the first this year. I want to make this year amazing. I want to improve my writing, and I want to do more. I'm forever looking for inspiration, and it doesn't matter what. If I can write about it, it's good. And here we are, a brand new poem from something tiny. This year I want to be able to write enough to hopefully send something off to someone and maybe, JUST maybe, I might make something of 2012.

Anyway! Down to business. This will be the last poem for at least a couple of weeks. I have final exams next week and I need to spend my time focused on that. YEAH RIGHT. I'm not confident at all and I bet I still don't revise enough. I'll try though. I just need to talk while I revise and not spend hours revising hard to get an E. I'm not sour about it at all, I swear. Ahem. Anyway. On with the show.

This is called 'Distant'.


He sits outside the city; the man within his home,
And he watches all the people go through life alone.
He’s alive and yet not living, while he fills his head with fear;
Fear of being the same because the road ahead’s not clear.
His shadow is possessed with the demons of his nightmares;
Those that push him under the world for which he cares.

To be alive is blessed, and yet life passes by.
He’s too afraid to live but yet so afraid to die.
He passes all the silver and dismisses all the gold;
Flies by all the diamonds and eventually grows old.
Wrinkles tell no stories and yet his eyes have seen so much;
He fingers tips burnt by the fire he did not touch.

1000 views!

Hey, beautiful readers!

Tbh there probably aren't many of you that check back here much. But! None the less, I have reached the fantastic 1000th view. Thanks to Shannon for that! But seriously, that's amazing. It's not much to many people but to me it's brilliant, and I want to thank each and every viewer, whether you've only ever been here once, or whether you check back a lot. I couldn't have gotten there without you.

Happy New Year too! 2012 is going to be brilliant, hopefully, and I'm hoping that everyone had a wonderful holiday period, and is ready to start the new year with a smile on their face. Honestly it's the most beautiful thing you can wear. Even if last year dealt you some rubbish, remember it's all in the past now! Each one of you are special, and I'm proud to call you my readers. =3

Keep those views coming guys! I want to get even further this year, I need your support. :)
