[hometext] => A reflection upon how I've chosen to deal with the unpleasant things which have hit me in life.
[bodytext] => I once knew someone, who could never move along Spent far too many years with the knowledge he was wrong And yet there he'd stand, and I could not comprehend How he could choose to live like that and not regret it in the end I'd speak to him one day, and then with some dismay He'd lecture me on how he saw everything was okay He could bear to be alone which is more than was for me But it takes so much more than that for a man to be happy I told him all I knew, all I'd been cursed enough to view That I'd lost my faith and all the rest that could see me through So many precious hours essaying to change my fate 'But you're not in control, and you know that it's too late...' I tried to disagree and yet all I could find was hate... 'Whatever powers that be, we can't hope to stop All we can do is pray for some mercy from the top' And in that moment it made sense Why he'd been sitting on the fence Not trying to change a thing and with all of it dispense So I took my place, gave up on trying to race Against all the other rats who had spat me in the face And then it all was gone, Everything that had gone wrong, My lost love replaced by one which was more strong I accepted me, and was accepted back Not a thing could reject me or my resolve not to crack I need you no more, since finally I saw That man liberated me and took away my flaws And should you find him too, tell him all you knew Whether all my failures had that effect on you It was just too much, too much to reconcile For too many years I had tried all the while Goodbye my passion, my heart cannot bleed As I no longer for your soul have that burning need Farewell and good luck, on whatever roads you took But know by this I'll now always be here Should you too become unstuck.

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. ©
