So please don't ask me how

I ended up at my wits' end,

uh huh. Cause life's like this:

there's something in your eyes

I know I can't resist.

Outta my way, outta my day;

I'm feeling disillusioned

and I can't stop thinking about you now.

This old bar stool's feeling higher

cause I've started sinking lower.

Carve your heart out yourself;

hopelessness is your cell.

Another turning point,

a fork stuck in the road--

train, roll on, roll on down the line.

Won't you please take me far away?

My hands are searching for you...

Day 30 (one month is almost over! According to my notebook, I've written...49 pieces [plus a few revisions here and there] so far!)

THIS came about from DrippingWords's First Line Poetry concept, where you put your iPod on shuffle, hit play, take the first lines (or first few, depending on how they ended) of the first 10 songs that came up and mesh them together to make a poem. THIS is my third attempt at it--the others REEEEEALLY didn't work out, but I like this one I think.

GOGOGO check out the other versions of this form so far:

Manage Me

I'm Falling Deep Down Under

Cut Off Together

Songs used for this piece:

Rise Against--Rumors of My Demise have been Greatly Exaggerated

Avril Lavigne--Complicated

Cascada--Reason

Metallica--Ain't My Bitch

Adelitas Way--Just a Little Bit

Alan Jackson--She's Got the Rhythm (And I Got the Blues)

Dashboard Confessional--Carve Your Heart Out Yourself
