11/29/05: Well, now, it appears that the poems are... back there. I don't recall seeing them on any sort of list before. Maybe my browser was just messed up? Maybe Fictionpress decided to do something new? I don't recall.

And here I thought these infernal things were lost.

Well... I can't bother reading them anymore. I don't have the time to read them. I believe I've found what the purpose of this stuff was: to squeeze out thoughts and feelings and emotions before moving on. That's it. No dwelling. Can't dwell.

I don't read this stuff anymore.

But, you're still welcome to. I don't have the patience to remove it all... and... well... that's it. That's probably the only reason why it's up. I simply don't have the patience to remove it.

Though I suppose I could just, well, delete my account... But, I don't even care for doing that, either.

Time makes scars out of wounds. Those scars sometimes hurt... but not as bad as they used to.

What caused these poems... this font of poems that sprung from me four and a half years ago... it is now resembled upon me as an incredible series of scars. Sometimes, they hurt, and I'm forced to feel, forced to recall... but, at other times... they don't bother me at all... and I can think... I can feel... I can breathe.

I can live.

So, unless something happens to change my mind, this will be the last post I ever make on my FictionPress account. My poems will still be here, unread even by myself, as reminder of what I once went through. Just like the past, they'll never be erased... and, perhaps unfortunately, never forgotten.

Maybe these poems will help others, though. Maybe they'll grant new insight to some other blind fool wandering through life. Maybe they will... finally understand. And, if just one person gains a better comprehension of the world around him/her, then these poems have earned their place here on FictionPress.

For what I believe will be the last time, this is Grimith signing off. Good luck, all, and may life deal you better cards than what they dealt me four years ago.

8/25/04: Well, I managed to find about three poems I haven't put up here, and I've also penned two more (though I think I'm losing touch with myself). It's funny how, when I flip back through my poetry folder, I first focus on spelling errors that I made. For instance, in a lot of my older poetry, I wrote 'truely'. I want to strangle myself now.
Anyway, I'll get those poems up soon.

By the way, in case you don't have AIM, you can use Yahoo! or MSN to message me (or my e-mail).

Keep in mind, though, that if you're going to e-mail me, e-mail TheOldWiseMan account. I seldom, if ever, check the one I invented for MSN.

8/10/04: Man... I've been a member to this site for... two years? I feel... old now.

Then again, I haven't submitted stuff in a while, so I gave off three poems. I've just been unable to locate my spark. And, oh, sure, there's many other poems I have that I haven't sent in... I've just got to find them and type them up... or even see if I actually have submitted them.

...ugh...been a long, long while...

On the plus side, though, I haven't been so angstful! ...kinda... maybe...

Enjoy!


1. The Plea
Wrote this in March of last year... displeased myself by it. I just don't like the sound of it... or the tone I used. Ehn... but I'll send it in, anyway.

2. Nature's Truth
A short one I penned in October of last year. I chose a PG rating because it just has some elements I don't think younger people can quite comprehend. Then again, I don't think there are many eight year olds on FictionPress... oo

5. Longing of the Razor reviews
Eh heh... suicidal poetry is definitely not for little kiddies or people who lack maturity... However, if you think you're mature enough to grasp the concept of it all, read on. I cannot stop you.

8. Alone
Very slightly based off of "One" by Metallica (basically, the thought of not having any of the senses whatsoever). Not really recommended for small children.

Easy to understand; hard to master. This is a poem absolutely anyone can read, but everyone will not understand it.

15. What Would You Say? reviews
One of the most interesting questions out there. Please don't write a review actually answering the question itself-I don't need a debate starting in the review section...

17. Thou Shalt Be... reviews
Maybe it's just me and I'm being overprotective, or maybe this poem is just slightly more mature than others. In any event, I don't really recommend small children reading this.

21. The Slave Auction reviews
Definitely an odd one... I advise people that don't like the vision of others in bondage not to read this... and I don't recommend most small children reading this, even with parents.

A little tidbit about God in here... It was just what I was thinking at the time, so, if your views disagree with whatever is in this poem, don't give a nasty, hideous review. I'd appreciate it.
