DESCRIPTION
This is a poem written in response to a certain mood I was in while deciding one morning that everything was pointless. It's not a very cheerful poem but then, at the time I wasn't in a very cheerful mood! Still, perhaps there may be an element of gallows humour in its cynical style. [114 words]
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
I am alive and well and living in central England, disguised as a student who periodically undermines their confidence with the aid of a variety of pubishers. Why, may you ask, do I write, if all I receive are rejection letters? I write to exorcise my demons; I write for me. Am I a libertine? No. Am I mad? Perhaps. Am I an eccentric who punishes everyone I know with my creative writing efforts? Definitely. But to paraphrase Oscar Wilde, you can't hold that against my poetry. [February 2000]

As I Walk Kerry L. Schofield
As I walk the faded streets And wish that I was dead, I realise I must survive By not looking ahead.
My mind flits back to just before A shrill, annoying voice. It was not my will to kill Though good to have the choice.
The dreams of reality I had Which linger in my head Will carry on when I am gone - Consume me, when I�m dead.
But that�s okay, it�s fine with me To seem a little strange. Whether crazy or just lazy; Sleep, or deranged.
They make demands I try to fill, My own demands are worse. You may find I�ll lose my mind. But they won�t see, of course.
For I, the lone academician, With no fellow the same, Must live a lie until I die, Not allowed to be insane.
