Stranded
As if in the middle of the ocean
Helplessly falling
towards the center of the earth
My life
has lost all devotion
Where can I turn
to find my worth

Hoping
that one day
everything will turn out right

Praying
along the way
the sun will shine all night

No more rain
No more tears
No more pain
No more fears

No more feeling this way
Help is on the way
No more words needed to say
It's time to start a new day

Nice optimistic ending to a sad poem--we all need hope.

Do your best, just keep on laughing
It's all on you, there's always a brand new day. -Avril Lavigne

We go on. Continuing through our nothingness or our everything. I took away thoughts of a life with more meaning with this poem.

Very nice. I liked the ending as well; I write moody things like this often, and rare is it that they end with a sliver of hope or redemption or anything. Good job.

1st - Welcome to PIP.  You are most welcome here within the confines of compassion's blue pages.  It is nice to see you posting here and I appreciate the opportunity to share in your world of thoughts and emotions through your posts.  

2nd - Your poem was teaming with emotion.  It was well written, and the emotion with which it was written was very clearly communicated.  I thought it was a brilliant bit of writing that I appreciated as poetry and appreciated as a reminder of some the rougher times I've had.

Last - The nice thing about days sometimes, is that sooner or later it's going to end and you get to try it again tomorrow.  Time has a funny way of ensuring that occurs at the same time every day.  You can set your watch to it.

Welcome again, and warm regards,

Kevin
