Here's a poem I've been writing recently. Rather than writing new separate journal entries every time an idea comes to me, I've been placing them all together. It's not finished yet. At least I don't think it is.
The dates and times separate the different sections that I wrote at (big shocker) different times.
This has been inspired by quite a few things. There has been a lot of foggy weather recently, and then on top of that, I was feeling somewhat like a vampire over Christmas... with the fact that I hardly ever saw the sun because I worked nights and slept during the day, and then the days were foggy, so... not much sun was seen.

The sun's been breaking down
This house of fog that contains me
(19:54)
The mist inside that clouds you out
This isn't even the tip (of the iceberg)

When did this life become so uninspired?!
Stifling
And the lights on these windows make me feel as if
I'm sinking
Locked in an aquarium
Suffocating

You are the light and darkness in my veins
You are all I need
(And all I can't contain)
You are the bright to burn me
Bite back my fangs to speak so softly.
An artist's work
Spread out over time
And who's to question why-e-i-e-i?

I spend my days in a defeated slumber
And take my nights
Under the quiet lights
Where all the people don't speak so clearly
After they've been spending their time [at the] "speak easy"
This isn't even the tip (of the iceberg)
When did life become so uninspired?
Locked in an aquarium
Suffocating
You are the light and darkness in my veins
You are all I need
(And all I can't contain)
You are the bright to burn me
And all the beauty that they try so hard to feign
Bite back my fangs to speak up softly
If there be a need
To speak at all
12/28/08 (11:09)
I'm seeking a silent corner
Isolated and alone
Trying to find where I belong
(Can I find Redemption?)
01/01/09 (16:55)
It's quiet in the dark
The lights make too much noise
