To live is to suffer
it just keeps getting tougher and tougher
first I write this rhyme
to help you understand it only takes time
I don’t know, but maybe from reading
this it will help you grow
ever since I was 8 my life has been full of hate
you can call it hell on earth
who’s next and going to be first
I remember being a little boy
not knowing the future that laid before me
not knowing it would distort me
I seems like these days be rainy days
I can never do something right, that was meant to be
can’t you see I don’t know what is meant to be
half my soul has been missing for quite sometime
please tell me god will it ever be mine
or does it just take quality time
you see I’m confused, sometimes miss used
I never know which way to choose
I don’t want to hurt anybody along the way
yes it’s true I think of her sweetness each and everyday
Just remember live to love or why live at all
I think that’s what has made me stand so tall
so when you see me don’t just prejudge me
get to know me you might love me
maybe learn to trust me
you see girl I be real
so much that I can make you feel
I know you ain’t know the deal
Iv been through the darkest days of hell
I remember when I was little, show and tell
telling everybody what happened to my Dad
girl why you looking at me so sad
You know I ain’t bad
I have seen the internal pit of hell
hmmmm does that ring a bell
yeah from 1993-1999
I have been suffering inside
sometimes I just wish I could die
but no I say to myself that’s the cowards way out
and I ain’t about to take that route
cause that ain’t what D’s about.

Deano..you have expressed yourself well here. I can feel your suffering, also the hope here. keep up the good work. Next challange for you... . Work on a form. I would like to see you try to write a poem that has a specific syllable count per line. Try one with 8 syllables per line and a everyother line rythme scheme.

eg.:
It was a dark and stormy night,
The wind swirled around my small frame.
Not a single star was in sight,
My soul was lost in this sad game.


What do you say? Up for the challange?
