[bodytext] => I've spent five of the past six years in a dark box My body rebelled against itself, and turned the lock My days were spent in seconds of pain and despair I was mired in the anguish, couldn't find fresh air Doctors would promise to aid and cure all my ills They gave green, white, purple, pretty little pills My human size grew with each dose swallowed My girth caused my gait to wallow and wallow The specter of death came to my window thrice I wondered when I would lose the roll of the dice But each time I managed to call to God above He blocked the daggar, let me relish in His love It's been a year since I woke from that dark sleep I wake each day, so clear, I want to cry and weep I see the world so rosy now, my life has some weight I know my path now is strong and straight At least, that's what I thought until yesterday Now my vision has gone far astray Due to people I tried to let back into my life To whom I tried to make amends for any strife They have never changed, but I had or tried They prefer the hate, the meanness, the lies I have found that I no longer can bear this mess I don't want to fail this one last test Without much fanfare, I've made my choice I'm going back to another box with less noise I'll keep my little family, husband, grandson, around But from the rest, I'll set myself free, no steel bounds I do have a few friends who understand this ole fool I will hope and pray I can keep those jewels But to the rest who only want what I can't give Go on without me, on with the life you want to live [comments] => 3 [counter] => 126 [topic] => 48 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
