Poetry Entry #1 – As I Lie Here Waiting

I have decided that I am going to start doing poetry entries on my blog along with my opinion pieces. I figured this would as good a place as any to post my poetry because this is pretty much the only global outlet I use for writing. I’m not sure how frequently I will post poetry, but I have some poetry saved up that I will post over the next few weeks. As I write more poetry, I will post it on here as well. Also, I would like to explain ahead of time that the majority of my poetry tends to be pretty dark because it is how I release the negativity in my life. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it.

This first piece is titled “As I Lie Here Waiting”

As I lie here waiting

I think of all I will never get to experience in life

Like making something of myself

Or having a loving wife




As I lie here waiting

I can no longer pretend

What is it I am waiting for

I am waiting for the end

So It Begins

As I said on my About Me page, I have wanted to start a blog for quite some time now so that I may share my thoughts and experiences with the outside world. Humans are very social creatures and I believe they can not truly thrive unless they have a healthy amount of social interaction. I believe that extended periods of isolation, with a lack of social stimuli, is both mentally and emotionally damaging. After years of limited social interaction, I have personally felt these damaging effects take place. Through this blog, I hope to get some of that social stimuli back by having others read and hopefully comment on my entries. And if others do not comment, I still feel as though just getting my thoughts and ideas out there will be very therapeutic. So with that said, here it goes…
