hours of darkness

Tue Jun 8, 2004, 10:48 PM
when the darkest hours arrive, our own thoughts are our only friends. you realize everyone has
disappeared, only to reappear at their convenience. thats if they reappear at all. so you
spend your days pondering questions without answers, reminiscing memories that hold no
meaning, yearning for somebody close. but nobody answers. its in this time that a humans
desire to be individual must be rekindled after years of suppression. i once possessed vials
upon vials of the substance, but began losing it slowly when i returned from college. it was
so much easier to become part of a collective. it eased the pain of my failure away from
home. if i only realized the toll it would take on my spirit once the collective was broken, i
would have...no, i must not have regrets. i chose my path, it seemed so smooth, newly
paved. travel down further however, and potholes bespeckled the blacktop. some places
were even void of pavement, giving way to rocks and dirt. now land is barren desert.
sometimes a few clouds pass through to say hello. they drift on never staying very long.
their conversation always in fragments, fading at the end of their sentences. eyes always
wandering off looking for something better to grab their attention. oftentimes, i am edgy
with these clouds. i get weary of their single-mindedness. their short arrivals become worn
out after some time, and they never seem to bring any rain. i used to anticipate their
emergence on the horizon, but that was some time ago. so now i am faced with the task of
awakening my individual. oppressed by years of collectivism and drug abuse, its potential
was once infinite. he’ll definitely be rusty with all that time locked away, or will he be
rejuvenated with the thought of resurgence? i have made a conscience effort to diminish
my alcohol consumption, weed and coke have been eliminated as routine. and although i
haven’t ruled out e just yet, its era is coming to a close, once we make our peace by
ourselves. i’ve been a drug addict for four years in one way or another, and although they
change face at times, the need is always there. i’m ready to walk away, and claim myself
back. i will do this alone, for their is no one to call on but myself. thus a new path issues
from the beaten one. this one seems very upkept and smooth as the last one, however i
have more confidence in this one. this time i’m in control of its maintenance.

Awesome that you joined, I welcome you and wish you the best comments.

changes are all about. i've been close with someone for 4 years, eventhough i've known him for 9 years. a brother i've never had. we possess the same moralitly, the same values. the last year has been rough. we started off on the wrong foot and our differences have built on each other. its to the point where we're looking for something else. he has found a girl, to which i really dont know how deep his feelings are for her. i'm left wondering where i stand. i dont wanna come between them. but at the same time i yearn for the times we once had. the girl is only an afterthought. tonight for example, i went to the bar with two of my other friends, but apart of me was missing. my best friend wasn't there. this has become commonplace. you cant just have a relationship with someone and all of a sudden have it come to an end. what hurts most is that i feel he doesnt even want me to know her. the other girls he has been with, i was comfortable with. we hung out, i got to know them, all was good. this one for some reason, there was never an attempt for all of us to hang out, no situation where i could get to know her. i have become obsolete. i cant understand this because he was always the first to say 'girls come and go, but friends stay to the end' i guess i just have to accept the change, eventhough i dont like it. so i'm just gonna let him do what he needs to. he chose this path himself. he has priorities now. and it seems we can only hang out when its right for him. well, i'm not sitting around and keeping a schedule showing the days we can and cant hang out. its time for me to move on. i'm being pushed out methodically. like in 1984, where the people are supposed to just accept any changes the government makes without question. i'm not mad at the girl, i'm disappointed at my friend for his choices. i never thought i would have to deal with this, but i was wrong. part of me believes that i'm overreating. but then i get hit with the reality that we'll never be the same again. we're becoming more distant with every passing day. even when i talk to him, in the past when we had differences and we talked it was such a relief; a load lifted. now we're just going through the motions. we're not getting anywhere. more questions are left unanswered. for now, i'll keep my distance, since this is what i feel is needed. i dont think he realizes the impact of the situation. its time to be alone...

Okay so nobody is watching me or really cares what i have to say. No big deal, most poets don't get recognized till their dead anyway. I'm willing to deal with that and keep on writing to gain a large collection. One day someone might stumble upon it, read it, and have some sort of connection with it. Thats all I really hope for, that what I write doesnt just mean something to me, but strikes a chord for others that might come across it.
