Sometimes

by NannO   Oct 26, 2005


Sometimes I dream
about my death
I think about
that one final breath

when everything would cease
to exist for me
I'd just give away
my life for free

sometimes I cry
about my life
how it turned out to be
so full of strife

and pain and hurt
that just kept coming
and left me there standing
couldn't start running

my feet weighing me down
my heart so heavy
couldn't really blame
anyone else but me

sometimes I hurt myself
so no one else could
cutting me open
just like I should

I hurt and I bleed
and I cry my tears
that once were worth
so many years

a thousand years wasted
never meant a thing
it never really mattered
it was only pain my life could bring

sometimes when no one's looking
I don't dream or cry
and when I don't hurt
sometimes I die

    Wow, this poem asks for comments. Life is hard, difficult and often seems impossible. Giving up is the easist option for all of us; it takes strength and immense courage to be able to live. Your rhyming fit into place well and kept a beautiful flow, you did a good job of not making the ryhming seemed forces, that takes a lot of talent. I can relate to this poem on many levels, because I am a person who has difficulty dealing with emotional pain, and has a high tolerance for physical pain . . . a bad combination. keep you head up baby, you only have one life to live, once it's gone you will loose all your chances to makes something of it. Dying doesn't solve anything, doesn't bring any good, I found that out the hard way and I will be forever tainted by my mistakes of the past (see my poem Suicide through someone else's eyes, for more detail or Sorry is Never enough.) You write well, I look forward to reading more of your work.
