My blood boils through the razor sharp feelings cutting through My fingers running down my face like the bombs annihilating life Hanging and hanging in there, I am, Restless. I wait the days of sleepless night, avoiding the inevitable The phase, for me is nothing but an era, I laugh but linger Consumed like a dog’s meat my &lt;br /&gt; feelings burn, in a hell of psychopathy Striving for empathy, I cry for time to lend me the patience For the time who taught me love in the first place What drives one to suffer, spikes of pain running through me endlessly It’s a giggle’s tune, a hand’s warmth, an eye’s gaze  &lt;br /&gt;Just like a dying captain on a ship, I’m in control, I choose to suffer To love you, I tear with a smile, I love you restlessly.&lt;div

criticism rather than fake reasoning. So if you disagree with me tell me,argue with me. If you don't like my Poem tell me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally enjoy Philosophy, and Humor . So mainly I'll be speaking about those topics however I tend to speak also about anything random that pops into my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I hope you will enjoy this Blog.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4499942306722117375-6497922290725220301?l=beyond-ink.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://beyond-ink.blogspot.com/feeds/6497922290725220301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4499942306722117375&amp;postID=6497922290725220301' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4499942306722117375/posts/default/6497922290725220301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4499942306722117375/posts/default/6497922290725220301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://beyond-ink.blogspot.com/2008/09/1st-post.html' title='1st Post'/><author><name>Abdallah Haj Abed</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RQwhb_-QNyI/STelohbQCaI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/h36jD1b4i3s/S220/Abdallah.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
