Getting Philosophical

I should have died many times in my life,
They call me the Cat, I had nine lives,
But now Im sadly down to five, all from drugs and robberies Im lucky Im alive.
Philosopher of the Criminal Mind,
Lights blinding while in darkness,
A simple purest seeking truth,
But Im drowning in dark waters,
Sometimes I stop and ask myself,
But still come with No answers,
Until My maggots turn into Flys,
Only 'GOD' will have those answers.

About the Author

Country/Region: Ontario Canada

Favorite Poets: Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Gerald Lee, Im inspired by strong emotional connection in myself, and , situations that might still be resonating with Me from growing pains and also , the blessings that the rarity if being lucky enough to experience being in love with another that is also in love with you as well, the painful, pleasure it instills , In each and all that experiences its lessons in life, which Love undoubtedly brings. Suffering in one's self, and the satisfaction of overcoming the hurdles that brought us there. Death and Suicide, , and dealing with the stresses that plague a mimd that suffers from having the tendencies that would cause someone to fall into a Permanent Dirt-Nap because of self inflicted results.

I do believe...

that you will see that from the number of comments and critique you gather on your work. No comments or critique? You didn't capture their attention. Only mistake I see is that you spelt flies wrong. Good luck in the contest.~ Geezer.
