Someday Soon

Read author's note

Someday soon
My pain will wash clean
Leaving nothing
But memories of me
What do I wish
To leave behind?
A life full of heartache
Or a well thought out lie?
~*~
Am I happy?
Only time will tell
Everyday holds a battle
I'm walking through hell
Honesty washes
The purest soul clean
In lamest terms
What would that mean?
~*~
Given up on life
A feat easily tried
Walking on me
Where is the will to survive?
Lost long ago
When the battle was new
How does that feel?
It will never make a difference to you.
~*~
I speak for myself
Yet many alike
I hope you burn
Your actions were in spite
I'll fight for my breath
When taken away
Even my honor
Without it
I'd fade away
~*~
My happiness is my own
Not for the steal
You can't take it from me
I know this is real
Hardships are many
I will face in strife
But who are you
To judge
My way of life?
~*~
You play my emotions
Like cards in your brain
You know all the cards
So you throw them away
Talk all you want
It's as cheap as your ways
You won't stop me
I plan on facing today
~*~
My world is cold
Luke warm before to long
Tolerate in love
Until hatred is gone
Things in the past
Better left unsaid
I hope you think of me
As you lay awake in bed
~*~
Many times
I've fallen before
Broken and left
Shattered and torn
It's not the first time
I was shown the light
Lucky for you
He won't let me fight
~*~
Time is meaningless
When you hold no peace
Nothing but a storm
Is brewing in me
Mark my words
The world will see the light
I'll make it known
Even if
My death is the light.

Author's Note

To be honest, I'm really not sure which way I am going. I don't know if I am slipping further away or coming up from drowning. My life seems to be a jumbled mess, Confusion waits for me at every corner, and it is like no matter where I go or who I talk too, I can't get it to go away. Call me Psychotic and stupid and talk about me in your poetry. I understand you are upset, but do you ever think about the pain you have caused. Or the irreversible damage? Of course not, why would anybody do that? All they care about is themselves. That is all anybody cares about. What a lesson to learn, it sucks but its the hard truth.

A great write Ali and I agree that last stanza is very powerful.. xx

[Johnny Westbrook]

This was very powerful poem. It seems like you said enough was enough and stood up to defend and stand up for yourself. The ending really left a powerful feel flowing through my body...
"Mark my words
The world will see the light
I'll make it known
Even if
My death is the light."

Excellent write, and a perfect read. Keep writing and stay safe.
