black hole named Aylmer

Shunned and counted last,
I stand alone again.
Rigid with their curses cast,
I cannot bear the pain.

But, I will not give in,
my inner strength will never fade.
I won't allow them to win,
of their malevolence i'll never be afraid.

I know they can't stop me,
nor will they drag me down.
Despite the depth of this murky sea,
I refuse to sink and drown.

I will ultimately rise,
a flaming phoenix in the night.
Gaze deeply into my shining eyes,
see the fire burning bright.

I like this poem, sounds A LOT like something I would write, in a format I use as well.  I think I posted a poem like that on here a while back.... WEll anyway, here is my belated greeting (I've been gone for a while) Welcome to Passions.  Hope to read more.

After Love comes Pain, then Love, Then Pain, then Love, then Pain..... does anyone else see a pattern here?  Oh well, can't say it's not worth it.

I love it! Great job!

Find me a pidgeon that can solve my problems, and I'll find you a cat that can eat that pidgeon
