Matt's dark little poetry corner!!!

This is the work of my creative brother Matt, who has a lot of talent in my opinion at writing poetry...especially as lyrics to songs. As he tells me, this is tamer than most that he writes, but I still thought it was cool enough to share with everyone..I hope you guys enjoy it! You can say you saw it on my site first when he's a star!

looking Back on Things


the simple essence of being me
is slowly stripped away.
Endlessness did once consume me,
 but no longer today.

Lessons learned and repeated.
I remember endless routine.
It smells like flowers, and tastes like salt,
but it looks like vanity.

Never thinking about the world.
One of the lucky few.
better things came out of this,
 than anyone ever knew.
beautiful and precious,
 were things I never saw.
But now, looking back on things........

Chewed away but learning,
 what I could never find.
When all I knew was yearning,
for some piece of mind.

Blocking out the rest of the world.
one of the lucky few.
Better things came out of this,
 than anyone ever knew.
I see beautiful and precious,
as from this grace i fall.
But now looking back on things.
It was worth it after all.
