Living with myself is getting unbearable Words of wisdom I had ignored While youth flowed through me Like a raging river detoured So much simpler then; The days were all brand new So many chances, so many turns From what I thought I’d pursue Scary how fast it all went This is no way to live Can’t be with myself anymore For I have nothing to give |

wonderful expression of feeling how time has gone by so quickly. The line about days were all brand new really affected me. thank you for a lovely poem. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |

JML so sad, I hope you don't mean this literally and are just expressing yourself? Of course you have stuff to give, yourself, feelings, love, friendship etc. You do that here in Passions and in your own life as well I'm sure!!! Nice piece. There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

i love these deep pondering of yours...this one is SO YOU...even though its poeticly sad...it made me smile...cause its so "you". and then you know I disagree about the nothing to give line...and you KNOW why... (smile) stalking you still, your jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |

Yes you do have something to give. You gave me/us this poem that showed me that i'm not alone in my pain. Its everything to me/us. keep smiling  take care, Broken Wings "As you learn and grow, you will realize the greater the pain, the greater the growth." -IYANLA VANZANT |

JML, Great poem. I feel the days fly by also. So much to do, so little time. Hang on to today, for soon it will be gone. Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

JLM great poem ... when you think you have nothing left to give you give without being aware of it like the emotions expressed in this poem priceless giving of yourself chin up smile  "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |
