Doomsday; 1987
The 24th of the 7th month
A little boy was born
Into the sting of the world
Thinks to himself
What a beautiful light
And a horrible chill
Woke to the sound
Of the guns blaring
And confederates staring
At the boy who thought
He could save the world
“At least I’m happy”
“Some of us will never be”
Judgement day; 2003
The beginning of the fall
A young man just dying
From all the pain of the world
Thinks to himself
What a beautiful life
So pass the knife
Slept to the sound
Of a broken heart
Burnt out from the start
Can never save the world
Cant even save himself
“At least I’m happy”
“Some of us will never be”

I like the message here Mad_Hat.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Nice write. You cant save everybody else from their problems but you can work on your own.

Thank you both for your feedback. Yes this poem is very much about me when i tried to take on all the worlds problems and realized that i simply couldn't, partly because sometimes i struggle with just saving myself. Thanks again.

I think its universal..unfortunately...*hugs* boy do I ever know about struggling within myself...I gave up trying to take on the world...cos like you right now I can barely take care of myself...so much for being an adult

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
