Whether you knew it or not, I also write poetry and I'm going to add poems that I've written to this blog periodically so be sure to check it out later on..

Here's one I just wrote to start out the blog:

Time's Hold on Me

Time's gone by.. too much if you ask me, yet suddenly I find myself with nothing but questions
Of all the things I wonder, it's the ever haunting question of when? that rules my life

Sitting here in the dark with only the glow of a computer screen as my friend and companion I try and work out my thoughts into something that makes sense and all I come up with is this:

When will I ever learn?
When will my life seem to start to make sense?
When will I find whatever it is that I'm looking for?
When will this unknown, blank-faced pain in my heart go away?
When will I stop pushing myself so hard that I want to crack and break down?
When will I stop getting caught up in stupid shit and truly enjoy life for what it is?
When will I find the girl I want to call, mi unica?
When is true happiness going to find me?
When is my true life calling and career going to finally start?
When will I embrace this artist lifestyle that I seem to find myself in?
When am I going to smile like I want the whole world to know what I'm thinking about?
When will I stop running away from intimacy and find comfort in all the wrong places?
When am I going to stare into her eyes, only to see her staring through me?
When am I gonna stop kidding myself and quit?
When will I have a family of my own?
When will I know that I can stop looking for whatever it is I seek?
When will I stop dwelling over the things I cannot change?
When will I meet a great girl and not lose her to meeting at the "wrong time" in our lives?
When will I stop getting hurt in relationships?
When is this rat race we call life going to have a purpose?
When will I decide where I want to call home, shit, will I ever?
When will I close my eyes, letting only the warmth of the sun be my companion?
When will I ever grow up?
When will this pain in my heart have a face and a name?
When is happiness going to come?
When will cheating never be one of her options, when happiness left the relationship?
When is everyone going to see the real me?
When will I let down this guard that I got from trusting all the wrong people?
When will we ever work it out?
When am I going to believe in fate and find her back in my life?
When will it stop always being about a girl who makes me weak in the knees?
When am I finally going to be able to stand proud on my own, with no one's help?

It then hits me that all of these questions I have are never going to be answered, instead, merely reworded to reflect the current state we find ourselves in, making us rethink our every move

Sitting there contemplating these questions, I realize that it's who we are as a people,

We are told growing up that education is the most important thing and we should always be learning, bettering ourselves through personal growth and development

After that idealistic idea is spoon-fed to us, we are told one thing, which is what I find a rule I live by:

Question everything.
