[hometext] => I have lived...
[bodytext] => You just don't start out hopeless, only helpless That in of itself isn't wrong, what else can you do Being thrust into a life without so much as a clue Except to live the life the fates decided was yours. You see all the choices but they don't make sense So all you do is hope that you're doing right by you And you stumble along, filled with empty dreams Watching more and more time just fall behind you. You had it all but you didn't know that, no one does Where was the instruction manual when you needed it Anything this complicated should have instructions Hell, even the clock on the wall comes with a manual. You lived life the best you could, as it presented itself What else could you do, you just had to keep going And day by day, you scratched off another failed dream Til you are where you are, today, at this very moment. Yes, you have lived and you have learned all you know Doesn't make the sour taste in your mouth any sweeter It will not ease that dull ache in your heart any, either What is there left for you to accomplish at this point. With a tear-swollen tongue, you ask whoever's listening Please, oh please, would you just show me how to live And the only sound in reply is but the deafening silence Somewhere, inside, you knew that's all you would get. Armed with the knowledge of your too many failures And the sad prospect of it not ever getting any better You sit and wonder if you have any more choices left Because from where you are, it doesn't look like it. Thinking you should be crying but knowing it won't help You've no tears left to shed, you're simply all cried out There's no sadness in you, you've spent your share Yeah, nothing left but a broken soul in an empty life. Even where you're at right now wasn't by your choice So here you sit in a lonely world, a sad, lonely waste Trying to make some sense of it all or hoping for more Your petty dreams and joy have long since left you. Stuck in your hole, just an pitiful husk, you stare out There's nothing left for you here so why hang around Why drag this torment any further into the future You think to yourself, you have one more choice left. You have lived and tried, you have tripped and fallen The scars have all replaced the person you once were You have lived and you have cried but all to no avail Time to start over...hope those you've heard were right. So on to the next great adventure, that's all you feel You definitely have worn out your welcome in this life Just close your tired, red eyes and shut out this pain It's the only thing that feels right...to start over again.

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. ©
