I can only imagine What it's like to sacrifice How it feels to do without What it takes to pay the price To offer all I have Unto others with a need I can only imagine For myself, I live in greed I can only imagine What it's like to be alone How it feels to be rejected How to get by on my own To never share a secret To feel empty deep inside I can only imagine For myself, I live in pride I can only imagine What it's like to be abused How it feels to lie awake Feeling angry, tired and bruised To have no friend to turn to Filled with rage I can't release I can only imagine For myself, I live in peace I can only imagine What it's like to know such pain How it feels to wake each morning With a past I can't explain To live a constant nightmare That no else can parallel I can only imagine But for them, they live in Hell *There is no destination where we are Please take me somewhere far Far away from this world of mine* (by me) |

This is by far one of the best peices I've ever seen posted here. Incredible. Your metre and message are perfect and the words you use are poignant and ring true. This is wonderful. ...Daysleeper... |

This is excellent. I totally agree with Daysleeper. There have been some great poems posted here, but this one, I didn't have to read it more than once to understand. Poor me, but I am one of those unlucky people who knows EXACTLY what all of the things you listed feels like. It really is just like hell. If I were as talented as you, I would have put my feelings into words just as you did a long time ago! Great work, keep it up!!!

You guys are always so supportive! Daysleeper - I greatly appreciate your comments, the inspiration to write this just hit me yesterday and I am very pleased with how it turned out. Thanx for encouraging me! Steph - I am so sorry you had to experience all these things, I hope you will find a way to put the pain behind you and make something beautiful with your life. Thank you for everything you said, I am really grateful. ESP - Thanks, you always manage to cheer me up! *There is no destination where we are Please take me somewhere far Far away from this world of mine* (by me) |
