when i write at 4am this is what happens...

[frogbat]

I am a number
Just a entry in the register am I
A mere pawn
With his heart and soul torn

I am not an emotion
Not an feelin am I
Another blunt weapon
Used without a justified reason

HA! But alive I still am
or so they?d like me believe
When everything is a lie
But I?m too stubborn to let myself die

Oh is this world still mine?
Or do I have to beg
Shall return with a new fleece
Hidden within the belly of a wooden horse

I?m a problem
Uncomplicated fool am I
Another name on the waiting list
Burnin shreds of the yellow cyst

I am a niusance
An irritation am I
A letter to the editor
Denouncing every crime

Oh is this world still mine?
Or do I have to beg?
To be let back in through the gates?
But I am not here for surrender

Cos I look into the mirror
Fiery eyes look back at me in anger
Forlorn.. a wish to retake myself
To recover my soul.. hidin hidin hidin?

(blame the manic street preachers' song "found my soul")

Hey! I should write at 4am, thats good frog *claps*. to be honest with ya, I find at 4:00am its easier to think and pull things together in your mind and if your up at 4 you MUST be thinkin/worrying about something.

A record, a number in a record collection, in your mind; at 4am. but in the hearts and minds of those who love you a name. Beautiful and forsworn by such insolent children of the night who like you, also are up at such rational hours worrying. Tossing and turning, reaching out and reaching in; keep them dreams alive, reclaim your soul!!

------------------
Lest we forget;
Simple regret
reflects
a flame well spent

This reminds me of your earlier stuff.
Same darkness that was always there.
You really are a wonderful writer Kermie.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

you should write more at 4 am, froggers

we all should...that's when those scary thoughts come to you and for a moment the vast and complicated world seems as tho it could be categorized

you are a beautiful poet

strange; this reminds me of Playboy Mansion a bit...not sure why...
