Not The Roses Red Way

by Sean Dohr   Apr 21, 2006


I write, cuz' I'm scared
of what I will become.
I write, cuz' I'm afraid
that I will have no one.

I write, cuz' I'm nervous
of what the future holds.
I write, cuz' I don't believe
everything I've been told.

I write, cuz' I'm upset
at the way I've been treated.
I write cuz' I'm sad
and feel that I'm defeated.

And when I do write,
it's not the roses red way.
I write about my life,
what I deal with day to day.

But my life isn't harder,
than any of yours.
We all have our problems,
that we have to endure.

We all have good times,
and times where we slip.
We all have some issues,
in life's long, tiring trip.

    Great poem with a great message. That is the reason why I write, to cope with life and all the crap it dishes out everyday. No I am not starving, and I have a roof over my head, but the emotional demons are stalkers of my waking and sleeping worlds, so I know what it is life to write to free yourself of emotion, or sometimes to help yourself understand what you feeling and why.

    I really don't like reading cuz' in place of because but that could just be me. Also, the ending felt a bit more psa type. Maybe go into detail instead of jst coming right out and saying it. Someimes people want to imagine and get something instead of just being told.
