The future is dying
Never to rise from the ashes

The present's left behind
As thoughts clutter your mind

The past stopped living
When you let go of misery

You're living for nothing
But yourself
You'll never have anything
But the pain felt

Your life's been ending
Since you were born
The future is pending
With society torn

The reasons that are within you
To live just get fewer
Till you have no reason to make it through

What never rose from the ashes
Was everything that was worth living for [comments] => 11 [counter] => 281 [topic] => 48 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Ashes of Your Past

Ashes of Your Past

The future is dying
Never to rise from the ashes

The present's left behind
As thoughts clutter your mind

The past stopped living
When you let go of misery

You're living for nothing
But yourself
You'll never have anything
But the pain felt

Your life's been ending
Since you were born
The future is pending
With society torn

The reasons that are within you
To live just get fewer
Till you have no reason to make it through

What never rose from the ashes
Was everything that was worth living for

There is much truth within your words, mixed with the deceptive workings of one's mind. Enjoyed the read!

Profound, almost like a warning, but perhaps too late?
Nicely done!

A sad and thought provoking write. I guess this poem reflects on the sad state our world is in.....it also entices me to counter with positive thoughts. I'm rambling, but this is a really excellant poem!

Thanks for sharing
