A Day in My Life

The problems of my life
way heavy on my mind
like that of a led bar.
I struggle to surpass them
and am bound by my own dillusion
that my troubles will pass
like a storm in the night.

Each day I recognize
but never resolve anything.
I seem to stray further
and make my road to salvation that much longer.
I am my own demon
and my mind is my own demise.

I seem to think
that my problems can be solved
with the rub of a lamp
and some mystical creature
will turn the tables of my life.

I long for the day
that I'll emrge from
the sewer of my life
and stand once more
in the sunshine that
it seems so many others have found.

The day will come
when I will wake up
and start to live life
instead of forsaking it.

Be yourself.  Say what you feel.  Nothing is wrong. To your own self be real!!

I remember I used to think that when I turned eighteen I would be able to straighten things out. Turns out...the longer you wait the harder it gets.

This is an excellent write. Vulnerable and insightful, candid and honest. Use those traits on your life like you do on your poetry and you should be on your way. Peace, courage and determination to you...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
