Memories

I used to live on memories,
Can't do that today.
I used to think I can't survive,
On life and its everydays.
I used to that that freedom had the power to cure,
But now I look at Palestine and can't believe hearts are pure.
I used to know reality as an ugly subexsistance,
Look at where it's taken me, in reality's own predicaments.
I used to be optimistic even when it came to being true.
Can't you see truth has led me to an ugly tangled youth.
I used to love each moment when I could me alone,
Suclusion has now led me to the point of being torn.
I used to find my comfort in the ink of this pen,
Now this pen has dripped of pain that you yourself have sent.
I used to think God gave everyone the chance to find their wealth,
But now you see that ones damned from the moment they walked the Earth.
I can't believe I used to think, the world a pleasent race.
Look at what you've done to me and tell me how pleasent you've made my place!

Excellent job on this poem!  It's good to see you posting again   I think the poem is really good because it has such a serious tone.  The way you started every other line with "I" made the poem seem so personal.  I love the way you've written this and I hate that what's happening over there is happening.

This was great. Hope all is well!

hey Salooma --- don't lose hope.  The seriousness of your poem has just made me feel bad, but that's ok.  Nothing compared to what others have to face.  I guess reality does hurt.  Keep your head up.  I'll have you in my prayers
