...inSight...
...To be a man is to be a nonconformist... Poems :
...maximize for viewing pleasure...

Hello to all of you who surfed to my
page. Well, my site
is about inSight. Insight is some-
thing only the gifted,
full of themselves, sick of this world,
living under the covers, writing
by light of the moon poets have. Do you
have inSight? Well, in my universe,
only the chosen ones have it. Are
you chosen? We know who we are.

I'm 15 years old, living in
a humid region, where
it rains all the time. There's
nowhere to go to get away. Nowhere
to marinate.

Well, I'm putting poems up here,
and I will continue to. I would
love it terribly if I got feedback
on it. Let me know how you like
the poems and the overall site. Oh,
I'm also looking for good quotes,
concerning society and writing.
If anyone has any,
I'd love if you sent
them to me!
And if you haven't subscribed
to my e-zine ...inSight...
yet, email me and let me
know you want to subscribe!
Be sure to tell me that
you found out through my website!
My email is at the bottom
of the page.

"What sane person could live in
this world and not be crazee?"

Here

The reflection of the day,
thoughts of the mind,
beats of the heart,
quivers of the conscience,
remind me
of you.

You're always here-
in the pit of my stomach,
in the back of my throat,
Your face shall not be forgotten;
I have burned it to the
back of my eyelids.

Oh, if you could love me too.

Lying

We could write such stories
of love and fulfilled dreams.
We could weave a web
of mystery and wonder.
We relish and live in
our art of lies,
because fiction is always
less painful to believe
than
the
truth.

...We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection...
Acid Rain

Acid rain
falling down on me.
Stop it, stop it,
I screamed to the heavens.
They didn't listen.
It trickles under my raincoat and
reaches my pale smooth skin.
It infects it with greed and coldness.
The rain pounds on my back,
entering my bones.
My marrow turns
hot with anger,
and my blood begins to boil.
The rain reaches
cruel arms into my lungs.
It takes away
my warm and happy breath.
It is replaced with
sadness and depression.

Acid rain pulses
on the top of my head
and fuses to my brain.
All knowledge is sucked away.
I have become a succumbed
zombie, nothingness
has replace my thoughts.
And lastly,
this poisonous rain
that I fought so hard to keep out,
has invaded my heart,
and now I cannot love.
I have no knowledge
left to hate with.
So all I do is fear.

I call up to the
heavens and now
they listen to me.
I have been accepted
only because I have conformed.
I am now part of
the cruel existence,
even if I didn't want to be.
But now I don't know
any better than I am now.

Such a cruel world
that only rules those
who are overtaken by them
unwillingly, but quietly,
because at least they will
be accepted.

Beauty

You say I'm such an
angel,
but you're just another
opinion.
You are just another
lie,
that holds onto my
conscience.
You say I am so
beautiful,
But what is that supposed to
mean?
That I should know
that?
You ask me to believe
you,
Such a question you
ask,
such an answer that you
want,
but how can I believe
you?
When you've never been into my
mind?
You've never lived me or my
confusion;
you don't know my
thoughts.
And you can't judge on something that you don't
know-
Because true beauty comes from
within,
and I won't let you in to see for
yourself.
