dont worry this happend a long time ago, this poem is still very powerful to me still

What do you want of me?
By charlie herring

Deaths sweet song
Calls to me again
This world of hate would soon be gone
Gone the pain
Gone the fighting of friends and family
Gone the injustice
Gone the life from me

It would be better never to have lived
If I had died as just a little kid
I would never have led this life
Never have felt this pain
Never have felt this love
If I had died as a child

What courses would there lives take
Would they have gone on?
Where they meant to be great
Am I holding them back?
I know I am a nusesnse
An annoyance at best

How I wish this life would end
How I wish I could be with him
With my father and my friend
My god and my savior
They would keep me from this pain
They would not let my blood be spilt
Love everlasting
How I wish I had that
Death tastes bitter
But the fruit is sweet

Would they forgive me?
If I left
Would they care?
Should I fell regret?
I know I bother them
I know I am a burden
This life I am not long for
I want to go home
To a loving family
And the love of friends

But I am not meant to die
But am I meant to go on?
Should I watch as a spectator?
Or be a peacemaker
Among my friends

This hurts me inside the discion is not clear
My God give me guidance send down your spirit
Fill me with fire
For life
For love
For you
I need this life no more
I give it up
I turn it over
Not my will
But your will be done



work like you don't need the money,
dance like no one's watching, and
love like you've never been hurt

WOW!!!
well done, that was powerful!!! I don't know whether or not the moderaters will take it out though. (Note to moderaters: NO, I am not someone who will complain if this thread is removed. I am NOT a nuisance and it's Ron's home = his rules).
But, yeah, I loved the poem.

....peace as a primary objective is dangerous because it implies that we would sacrifice anything for the sake of it....

I'm glad you know that He doesn't condone for us to hurt ourselves the least. For it definitely is not an answer to any of our problems. You have expressed your sentiments ever so strongly on this poem. Be strong, help yourself first, then He'll help you.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.

This was so powerful!! Very amazing work here. I am impressed.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
