Emotion help: Poem by Tricky ” Beyond ” - Help.com

Poem by Tricky ” Beyond “

Beyond thousands of years
Of myth and lies
I lie confused in a world
That doesn’t make sense

So I go beyond our logic
Seeking answers that where
Once buried
And others, never discovered

So I sail on the
Endless sea of mysteries
Where nothing is what it seems
Where land never existed
Nor will it ever

I drop anchor from time to time
Just to remember
That I’m in motion
And once the motion stops
It means I still am existing

Where look and emotions are deceiving
I’m not deceived
Once you know the truth
Looks are the least that matter

Sadly as we grow
We are taught everything wrong
This world is really a bad teacher to learn from
And if not questioned
Are slave for that teacher

Everybody learn
For the simple reason
Nobody wants to be alone
So we sell ourselves
Not to be lonely

They make us fear the unknown
And to never question them
So our thoughts become bounded
By their teachings

As we become more
Dependent on them
We become a slave
Of these things they call society and the world

So we seek relationships
To fill the void we feel inside
A reason to live for
And a goal to look forward too

So we do everything in our power
To attract the other gender
Whether its acting stupid
Or talking about subjects we don’t care about

So we loose our identity
As we try to impress
As we get more attention
We seek it more

An endless spiral of self destruction

“we sell ourselves not to be lonely”
that is so true…but we really don’t have an alternative, do we? we need people, and in order to have people, we must become like them. it really is an endless cycle of self-destruction.

I really enjoyed this read. As with the other from you, a writer in the making is quite pleasingly obvious. Thank you for the invite :)

A sad, but truthful thought…I think this is how most people feel. Everyone has their own story, issues and recovering mechanisms. True, most people seek other people (thinking this will make them happy). Remember, nobody can Make You Happy, happiness is within. I think of all the trials and tribulations in my life and they have molded me like a slab of clay waiting to be “something” and you know what? You are the something that your life has made you…if you didn’t go through the things that God has put in front of you…you would not be the person you are today. Yes, you may be somewhat confused at this point in your life…that’s ok…it’s normal…you seem to be in your 20’s….I am 44 (almost) and have learned all my lessons the hard way but, I wouldn’t change that for anything. People say I am the happiest and most carefree person they have ever met and YES that’s how I feel…there is no reason to mope, feel neglected, miserable or angry. Everything happens for a reason and there will always be something good thats follows something bad…(something bad that happens to you…may seem bad at the moment…but it is always for the better!!! You must wake up with a smile for someone everyday (I wake up with a smile for everyone because that’s what I am meant to share with everyone). It is amazing for 1)to be alive, 2)be vertical, 3)show up for anything 4)to breath 5)to open your eyes…..life can be so difficult (it seems) and so cruel…always remember YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON and to keep the earth revolving and the natural way of things to keep moving YOU MUST BE HERE…You ARE a Piece of this most complex universe that must not be lost so, believe in yourself and be assertive as to who you are and NEVER let anyone undermine, overshadow, belittle or accuse you of anything you are not about. Stand up for yourself./..you wil gain respect and then you will meet the person who completes you…not who you think makes you happy. HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN!
