Why try?

This is kind of a different format for me, but I gave it a try!

WHY TRY?

 

Inside,

I am empty;

Outside,

I am closed;

The past

Is behind me;

The future,

Who knows;

At my feet,

Trampled eons decay;

Overhead,

Infinite unknown;

My mind,

Full of pain, unforgetable;

A heart

Afraid, void of emotion;

The end

Of unreachable goals;

I begin

To give in;

I rest

Upon a quiet moment;

Death works,

All of the time;

My name,

Uttered, occasionally;

Unfamiliar face

On worn photographs;

There is no more;

Why try?

Because the sun is shining and it's going to be a beautiful day!

I have felt all of these emotions you relate to in this poem,
on many occasions. Life is hard sometimes. Thank the higher powers
that be we have the ability to Write!

Poem tell a powerful story. We can feel push into a corner with no way out. I like the set-up and flow of your words. We go go forward. Must be a better road a head. A excellent poem.

As I get older the feeling is mutual. The dawn brings a fresh start and there is love to remind us that we are important to someone. I enjoy your writing.
