Doing TimeA Poem by Carolann Dowsett
It's over now
I've waited too long It's too late for trying all purpose has gone Sadness has seeped into the cracks of my soul The cruelty of the world has taken its toll I want to hide away for the rest of my days Slowly vanish from sight as the shadows fade Only a few would notice if I was no longer there Life would go on not many would care Memories drift away on the morning breeze My life falls away like the autumn leaves Pain parades its way through my veins Despair torments my spirit in it's deadly game Love eludes me in it's evil dance Staying just out of reach never giving me a chance Lustful creatures corner me
on every side I fight for my virtue to stay alive But the will to go on grows weak within The struggles too great against evil and sin I grow weary of sorrow of walking alone Of having no one to trust no place to call home I want to shut it all down and walk away Escape from people and the games they play But I have to go on the choice is not mine My task won't be over until I have done my time © 2013 Carolann DowsettFeatured Review
