If I Could

If I could dream away all my problems,
I'd leave every one of them in my fantasy world,
and take the fantasy me back to my life.

If I could cry away all my pain,
It wouldn't matter how many tears I've shed,
because each one would furthur cleanse my soul of all the hurt.

If I could scream away all my fears,
they'd run away to haunt somoene else.
Or I'd bury them in the frightening world that's taken over my life.

If I could throw away all my confusion,
I'd replace it with complete understanding of every aspect of life.

If I could end my life,
I would banish it forever.
I'd kill every bad thing that's emotionally killed me.
But I can't-
Because despite all the
problems, fears, pain, confusion,
and whatever else may block my path,
There's too much to live for.

If I could make everything perfect, I would.
But I'll just have to live.

This is a beautiful poem.  It is really heart felt and if only we could do those things.  So many times I have felt this way and I am sure everyone else has too.  Great poem!!!

This is a beautiful poem wonderfully written!

I think everyone feels this way at some point or another, I have felt this way many times in my depths of sorrow. I guess we just have to deal with all the bad things that are thrown in our paths, Best of Luck my friend and keep your heada up!!

Heather~Thanx for u'r comments, I'm glad that u enjoyed it. Also, thank you for permission to give your poem to someone.

Jessica~Thank you for your words and encouragement. You always have something nice to say.

Night Mist~Thank you for what you had to say. Check your mail, I'd be happy to get to know u.

Lucius Cade~Thanx for your comments, and I'm glad u liked it

I'm glad u guyz could relate to this, although what I was feeling when I wrote it was not something that I'd ever wish for anyone to feel. Although I was very depressed when this was written, I was trying to hold onto hope, which I expressed in the last lines. Thanx again for your feedback!!!

~<3 Always~
