Allright, maybe you guys don´t give a shit. But I need to share some of my poetry. I need to let some feelings out. Thanx

The Man from the Outside
I can feel the man behind me getting closer.
I can feel his breath on the back of my neck.
Why am I running?
I want him to catch me.
Why am I afraid?
I am longing for his cold touch.
Why do I feel regrets?
I want to travel to his world.
I want to see what I never been able to see.
I want to feel everything I never felt.
I want to be that person I always wanted to be.
I no longer want to be this person I never respected.
Is that why I now run slower?
Slower than before.
Maybe I would like to stop.
Touch me. I need something.
Warm or cold.
Life or death.

/Ariana

I usually right in Swedish so I like to give the original Swedish one. Thanx.

Mannen Utanför

Jag känner hur mannen bakom mig kommer närmare.
Jag kan känna hans andetag i min nacke.
Varför springer jag?
Jag vill ju att han ska hinna upp mig.
Varför är jag rädd?
Jag längtar ju efter hans kalla hand.
Varför har jag sådan ångest?
Önskar ju inget mer än att färdas till hans land.
Jag vill se vad jag aldrig sett.
Jag vill känna vad jag aldrig kunnat känna.
Jag vill kunna vara den jag alltid velat vara.
Jag vill inte längre vara den jag aldrig ville bli.
Är det kanske därför jag springer långsamare nu.
Långsamare än förut. Kanske vill jag stanna.
Rör mig. Jag behöver något.
Kallt eller varmt.
Död eller liv.

/Ariana

I give in to sin - because I like to practice what I preach

Wow AD! There is poetry inside you!! Great job - although it seems like the man inside you needs a change?

Great poem.
I wonder if you are talking about yourself here, when talking about the man that comes closer. Someone you don´t wanna become?

I think what I right is reflected on how I feel. When I´m really down I like to write. It makes me feel somewhat better.
I think in this case, the man behind me is death.

Icecold Soul

It´s not because I love
It´s because I need
It´s not the way I am
It´s the way I have to be
Not for freedom
But for relief

The brave new Apollo

"The man from the outside" really moves me strangely as I have written a song in German with nearly the same theme and a very, very strong connection to what you wrote...and this nearly the same week as you obviously did!
Icecold soul is brilliant!!!
But I hope that you know that warmer times will come to unfreeze!

Forever Young!
