MIXED BAG As each day goes by With every passing moment Anything could happen Life Love Death The end of each day brings closer your demise Yet we wake We laugh Cry Die Be it our body Or our souls Each day we lose a little bit more That little bit of who we once were As we wake in the morning We become a piece of the day before As wrinkles creep up And gray hair creeps in We look at a stranger in the mirror Wondering where the person we knew had gone We are a mixed bag A conglomeration of every moment Every aspect Every emotion we have ever had When we die do we lose that? So pointless would our existence be if that were the case So pointless it seems anyway really We live to work We kill for love We push ourselves until we break We are pushed until we break Tears falling to uncaring ears Keys left on a table Heart left in the dirt Blood sweat and tears Lost What made them so hard to cut you so deep? Who killed the child within? So they may kill the child within you Who gave them the right to murder your soul? Leaving you to live without it Who gave them the right to destroy you? Who created the person That on this day Created you anew How sad How human As you look into the mirror One last time |

I loved the ending of this one so much, good write. "One last drink and the bottle breaks, returning us to the dust from whence we came" |

I think each day we gain a little more, and I don't think we lose it. Enjoyed your thoughts here. |

I think that was a most thought provoking read, and of all the poets in this forum, including myself, you are amongst the best, closely followed by EagleScorpion. Well done! Jossal Darkness is only the lack of light... |
