black hole named Aylmer

Plummeting downward like a sinking ship,
life's threats are beginning to tear and rip.
Hopelessness begins to tire on ambition,
the situation is no longer premonition.
You shudder alone in this empty room,
repressed ideas haunt and loom.
Please listen to the truth to be told.
Sit and listen to a story that is cold.
Take the words up like a dry sponge
within your concience like a filming grunge.
Life is full of little ruts and bumps,
hard knocks, bruises, beatings and lumps.
You must go through the bad to get to the good,
be brave and the meaning will be understood.
I feel concerned when life goes wrong.
Maybe the bumping road won't seem as long
if you take my words and learn to care
instead of hiding beneath a cynical stare.
For a friend I will try to be,
honourable, loyal and caring you will see

Joe~
A nicely written piece you have here.
I very much enjoyed reading this.
I went ahead and fixed your line breaks for you too.
For future reference, you can edit any of your posts
within 24 hours of posting them, by clicking on the

It's the third icon from the left.  I hope that helps.
