They're back again they never stay away when I find a spark of happiness they make sure I pay I pay a thousand tear drops for each smile for every step I take they set me back a mile for each moment I spend in the light they curse my soul with eternal night just when i think life is a game I might win here they come - they're back again !

I enjoyed reading this..it seems that way for me sometime...if I start enjoying my life to much somethings happens to pull me back into sadness or loneliness. James |

Aiden Kelly- thanks you guys are giving me a big ego lol James- exactly what I was talking about...thanks Jannel-that line was a favorite of mine too came to me in my rambling any thing on paper stage and I had to work it in to the poem Isis- they are the darkness and fears and doubts that surface never allowing me to be completely happy ... Janet Marie - thanks I think without them I wouldn't be able to write half as much as I do so kind of a blessing in disguise they are? lol Broken Wings- thanks for your coments ... waiting for the storm that will surely come soon "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |
