being a nobody is hard enough (growing up)
so long simple science
hello to complience of complex ideas that bring out my fears
its hard enough to be a nobody
someones too much but dreamings enough...far away
so long treasured outline
erasing the fine line that traced my routine; rebellings obscene
its difficult enough to be a nobody
what must i do to be remembered by you...far away
so long child day dreams
and welcome reality, something is wrong because im not what i thought
it was hard enough to get where i am
and im only a nobody show me my role...far away

Potent stuff, CJ. What inspired this? I think it captures something of what I feel sometimes...tho I don't know if it's the same as what you meant. Of course, that's the beauty of art, really. You can take what you want from it.
What I'm feeling from it is the dissappointment the day you realize you have "grown up" and nothing has happened like you thought...I mean, I'm not an actress or a journalist, or even a Fish and Wildlife biologist like the plan was...not only that but there's the sudden realization that that window has closed. But this also has something to do with someone important...childhood sweetheart?

its cool this is the first time i was ever able to have people talk about the stuff i write...
yeah youre pretty dead on with the feeling of disappointment...i just look at where i am...nowhere really...and its really hard sometimes...someone who doest grow up with an easysituation needs to work really hard just to haev enough...but this came from a combination of things tho...like just a lot of disappointments i guess....like a lot of people can relate to iti think...like in relationships...everyone loves the chase..then when you get her it isnt half as good...or whatever...or even someone who just got lazy or tired of trying so hard to simply survive...
that is real deep CoolJason . Ilike it a lot.I understand were you are coming from. real cool poem.
peace

All I can say is about that "realization" is that I learned to look past it. I mean, hardly any of us achieve our childhood dreams. One of the things that's so great about being a child is that dreamsknow no boundaries...but life sure does. Now I'm at the grey old age of 28, I've kinda come to the philosophy that it's not the big things in life that count, but the sum of all the small things...a hug from your dad, coffee with a friend, a kiss from your son, afternoon rays of sun lighting up a flower...it's the sum of all these tiny fractions of seconds in time that is the meaning of true happiness, I think. It's just hard sometimes to forget the "failures" long enough to be accepting of the little things...but if you don't have the right frame of mind you miss so many potential happy moments. I struggle with this daily.
Sorry, I'm not meaning to lecture you. Just rambling. The poem is awesome, it totally struck a chord with me. Keep writing, Jason. Use that passion.At keep posting them. I love poetry.

my specific motivation was more on the lines of how hard it is just to do nothing or just to get by in life...not the disappointment that i wont be in the WWE some day.. dig?
