Everything Will Be Okay

Inspired by a review.

I have seen the darkness

Caged inside every man

Locked, tightly for eternity

Only chosen to be let into the light.

 

A bone breaks, a bruise heals

And every broken memory

Starts to fade away, forgotten

In burning ashes floating in the winds.

 

Needles pressed against skin

Causing only minor damage

To the innocence of a child

Forced into the cold darkness.

 

Lies built upon lies

To fill the universe to the edge

Being left to discover the truth

Of what is rightfully certain.

 

Damaged by broken pasts

In a eternity of strangled hope

Echoeing cries howling in the night

Memories I will never forget.

 

Beaten, battered and used

By love, and still I hold my head

Higher each time I fall

From the heavens and the clouds.

 

Broken, I will be

But only for a short time

I am on the side of living life

And I know everything will be okay.

 

As the stars continue to shine

Each night I am breathing and alive

Break me, shame me, do your worst

Eventually I know I will be fine.

Author's Note

Life always bites you and brings out the worst in you. As long as you breathe in air, you are alive. Be thankful for what life has to offer.

Anna Rose, this is just stunning, this is not the first time I have empathized with your writing. I am learning that I do not have to create poems myself to express deep things, that I can absorb the words of my dear poetry friends. You have expressed here the survivors spirit which I am intimate with. If life burnt my world to the ground then I would sprout from the ashes. Thank your for sharing, your words are always so powerful and wise.

I have a friend I would like to dedicate this to...I will share it with her. Your words speak of emotions that are all too real for many. Love bites...and when it feels good....it's like tasting heaven...but when it hurts...it burns..it stings...and it sometimes feels as if the pain can go on forever..................................................................................................................................................................................................

Wow, dear, isn't that a strong piece of writing, you totally took me in it, all you say are words out of wisdom of life, and in the end, you're unbeatable! Nobody will get you, cause you trust, and you will be fine. I totally loved this piece. Honest, and pure, full of life and all trust finally! Hugs!
