Shit

I wanted to get away
for a while
So I took your car
and wrapped it round a tree

shit

My actions are without concequence
My concience absent without
any real feeling
at all

Parallell Red Lines
Stretched out make a mile
So I take my pills
wrap myself in myself
and smile

warm wet face
never in denial
I am already
deathly and dead
Walking a line
of dumb numb
scum

As Stephen said, great opening lines- this should stand as a short poem on its own, but then you extend it well, adding retrospection and inner reflection. The speaker seems to want to deny any feeling, yet plenty is present, a strange paradox. A few spelling mistakes aside, this has promise.

This is a great description of apathy/angst, Lana. It reminds me of my punk rock attitude... who cares, we'll all be dead one day anyhow? Excellent.
