Do I stand and cast my line Or am I only waiting to die If efforts made are just in jest And little time do I invest To live a life that’s not in vain How long can I still remain? Life does not live in this place Where words describe our empty space My world lies far beyond these walls Where once I live and now have stalled So now I stand and cast my line No longer sit here waiting to die |

There is life beyond this...when you are willing to try...but sometimes taking that step is the hardest thing in the world to do...dont forget to let your friends help...hugs and like Serenity I miss you too |

I am new here but I was so impressed with your poetry I had to leave a note to you saying...cast your line, you are going to be surprised what you reel in, and good luck to you. |

Love the positive aspect of the conclsion of your thoughts here....throw in the line and learn to live with what you're dealt, dying will come soon enough as it is....good writing!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Rich- I too can relate. I've long since believed that writing is a great tool to healing. I liked this poem.  KateGood luck.. Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood. |
