"Sunbound (poem)" by Chris ´Silvara´ Martens

I can relate to this poem....i don't know how but it touched me. LOL...I love this poem...and I love how you write...

Hmmmm. I'm not really sure what to say. I guess a person can do too much dreaming. An awesome poem. The rhythm and rhyme were terrificAuthor's response: It's not really about too much dreaming... there's nothing wrong with that, really... it's more about the people who are so optimistic that they don't see reality, or who aren't willing to accept the dark things in life because they're frightening; they would rather walk around with sunny smiles plastered on their faces, feigning happiness to the extent that they can't see their own problems anymore.

Ahh. A natural cynic. I like you already. Only... Only... (playing devil's advocate) Some people can't help but be overly optomistic. Speaking with the mind of experience, some people do it as a defence mechanism, a way to get away from the pain in their lives. They do so to ignore the bad, so that they cannot see the blunders and mistakes, lessening their depression and internal pain. Humans evolve in their own microcosmic way, all different, all unique. Human facades are as random as... the stars in the sky. Over-optomism is one, silence is another, anger and hostility is still another, the list goes on and on. I prefer to look at my shoes, swallow my pride. But I've seen others just like me look to the sky for strength, and lose themselves to falsities.

I really like the message in this one. "You stare at the sun and cannot look away" I know many people to whom that would apply.

The lines about 'staring at the sun' really touched me. It seems sort of sad; I intrperate it as talking about un-lived dreams, but that just my thoughts on it. Very well written poem, though. Keep up the good work!
