On the streets w/ people

Sad and lonely
I sit and wait,
wait to learn
what is my fate,
watching hours
of endless time,
waiting to learn
how I'll pay
for the crime,
Awful tears
they bulid and grow,
of my future
I just don't know,
Then it comes,
the day I die,
my friends and family
sit and cry,
And of my fate
I learn what's true,
I should have always
believed in you.

This is a very well-written piece. Does this apply to your own life? If so, don't be too hard on yourself. Commitment is a great thing, when you're ready... but it can be a disaster if you aren't. You should never go into commitment if you feel pressured. I know that you may miss that person, but you should never go into a commitment with doubts.

False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference.

I suppose I should have just written this up there, this is about my commitment to God.  Sometimes I wonder what I really belive, so this is sort of looking at that.  Anyway, thank you for the reply LoveBug

You say that this is about your commitment to god???Then why would you put this:

I should have always
believed in you.

Did you like stop believing in god or something???

Anyways this was a good poem...I hope to see more!!!

LOVED it!! It was brilliant. I know what you mean about the commitment thing. God is sometimes hard to believe in...Keep your head up and be strong, one day you'll know the truth. Best of luck...
Love Always

This flowed magnificently!  I have been looking at a few of your poems and I'd have to say that the ones you do with shorter lines seem to have the best feel to them.
This was no exception.  Well done!
