DON'T QUIT
(It's messy, sorry it's been a while)
I'm sorry, for yes, this is but
Another sad song
Leave if you please
Stay if you may
It all made sense
In the innocence of my mind
Not yet attuned to life
And it's sad chimes
I opted to play a melody
Fine like aged wine
Yet all my strings brought
Were pain and bad times
Traveling ever deeper
My sorrow made me a sleeper
That sleep might keep
My weeps hid deep under my peepers
But still it still stings
I'm thinking of certain things
I try to silence the hurt
But the voices they still ring
My conscience constantly brings,
Me to my knees crying
Everyone still living
I feel I'm constantly dying
And never it gets better
Maybe I'm trapped forever
Now everyone sing together
"This hell has been pretty clever"
It trapped me snapped me
Oh so easily, I'm looking for a way out
But can't die feasibly
Or maybe I'm a coward
Maybe this has been my gift
But every time I see a silver lining
Shit just shifts
So I'm lost
I thought that I'd be
Stronger than I am
But I'm lost
I thought that I'd do
Everything I can
But I'm lost
I thought that I'd be bigger
Be a figure
And I'd have a better plan
But my plans have left the picture
So please,
Just don't be like me
Please, just know, what you need
Please, fight for it
Every single day
And if you fall from your grace
Let the Lord light your way
Don't quit

A QUESTION FOR MY FELLOW POETS, judged on my past poems, topics and manner of writing, if you had to slap an age on me, what age would you say you think I am?
An old head on young shoulders, my man, not a day over 23.
"But every time I see a silver lining
Shit just shifts
So I'm lost "
always happens to the young, I was there once :-) Good luck my mate CO.
Thanks Bee I appreciate the elder advice and will take it to heart! I hope the feeling or experience subsides at some point. I'd like to find my way soon, much love man
Dear Brother Poet Onlooker!!
At age 24 I attempted suicide!!.......I was at a loss for what this world truly had to offer.......I spent a LOT of time since then trying to figure out the whole God, Life, Death, thing by traveling the globe in search of answers........ pain for me is chronic...... and I have learned to deal in my own way........ but like you mention in your write.......NEVER quit!!........God IS there...... he has proven it to me several times since then.......... there is SO much more I could say here....... but the truth is.........I have traveled outside of my body several times....... and each time.......I found BEAUTIFUL reasons for ~ returning to this beautiful reality....... where my daily mantra has become........ a joyous ......"Seek and ye Shall find!!"......... Love to you brother poet!!....... your cyber-friend and admirer ........T xo. ?✳✴☀♥
