Lament

[angelique_of_the_damned44]

Lament

I have walked through life,
Never realizing my true role.
I’ve lived, I’ve loved,
I’ve given my heart and soul,
But I’ve never felt real inside.

And now, waiting for death, I wonder:
Is this who I am?
Is this who I’ve become?
Have I deceived myself of the truth?

Questions that are too late to be answered
Must never be uttered at all.

I sit in darkness
Wondering about reality
For eternity.

This is the first poem I've written in about a year, so it might not be my best.

My dear, may I suggest you switch on a light and crack open a KJV, instead of navel-gazing in the gloom. There's nothing quite like reading a few chapters of the LORD's Book when one needs cheering up!

Re: Lament

Thank you.
I have some of my other poems saved to my computer if you would like to read those. (I wrote them a long time ago, but I still think they're pretty good.)

No thanks. Mindless, rambling poetry written by a 44 year old hag whining about how pointless her life is.....no thanks, really.

Not every poem needs to be about people being in love with jeebuz.

I'm NOT a 44 year old hag and not all of my poems are like that. I have some very uplifting poems, as well.

That must get pretty dull after a while. I mean, I can see the appeal of sitting in darkness wondering about reality for a half-hour or so, but wouldn't you want to go for a snack or something after that? And what happens when you need the toilet? Do you just go where you are, or do you try and find your way to the toilet in the dark while still contemplating reality?

I do hope not.

Please, she's explained. She's not 44; she just caught her man in the "44" position with another woman and decided it'd make a nifty addition to her already ridiculous name. Go figure.

I couldn't make much sense of that, but surely her problem is that what she brings in her being is also useless twaddle?

Praise The Lord Brother Temperance.
Another reason why our True Christian™ Faith is SO much better than the many false beliefs.
A reality based on The King James Bible is far easier than having to work it out from "Theory" based on Scientists and their Monkey-Worshipping followers.

Okay. I can see that people are a bit confused about the "darkness" that I'm referring to in the poem. So, I'll explain:

And now, waiting for death, I wonder:

"Waiting for death" aka "on my deathbed." So, "darkness" must mean... "death." So it means that I'll be looking back on my life wondering whether or not I had lived it well, even after death.

And, by the way, what exactly is the "44 position"? I've been using that number long before he cheated on me.
And what is it about my name that makes it so "ridiculous"?

I think it's safe to say that once you're up to your neck in the Lake of Fire, bobbing around helplessly while demons fling faeces and broken glass in your face, you'll know that you didn't live your life very well.

And what is it about my name that makes it so "ridiculous"?

Where do I start?

Start your explaination from wherever you'd like.
I would like to know.

1) The affectation of Europeanising your name. Do you think it makes you look cultured or what? It looks about as dignified as if you called yourself "applique of the doomed"
2) The name itself. Do you actually mean anything by it, or did you just think "hey, angelique_of_the_damned44 sounds sort of paradoxical and doesn't make much sense, just like liberalism and Darwinism, so it must be cool"?
