[hometext] => **i wrote this as raw as I felt; this is my first poem since being required to write one back in high school for homework, and my first poem ever written on my own will. i'd appreciate your critiques**
[bodytext] => Its Autumn and the leaves fall, just as my heart does Deeper and deeper into this dark abyss I call now A strong longing and sorrow grows inside me. I shared my heart once, and maybe my last, But that is a story that only time can tell As life moves swiftly around me, I wonder where my path goes My soul weighed down by worries of tomorrow Can I make it through the night, can I sleep through the fright Or must I awake in a puddle of self-loathing and spite Dried are the springs of my happiness and innocence Withered has become my interest in my own existence But before I let you go, I must be sure to let you know That a small flame of hope still burns inside my soul If not for me, for those who inside me virtue see So its now time that i must change my ways, To live not dark, but brighter days Having fell behind, but to soon repay To fall down, and get up without delay Because glory is not to never fall at all But getting back up each time we fall [comments] => 1 [counter] => 130 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Joe1987 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
