This Life

This Life

A Poem by Jeff
"

My mind is diving deep in itself. Trying to pull myself back from the brink.

"

It's about love and hate

It's about sex and death

Fathers and sons

Mothers and wives


It's about a man

Trying to keep it together

While falling apart


Death lurks around every corner

Life happens before your eyes

This life is about a man

Holding it together


While the world pulls him apart

By the strings

Determined to remain strong

It's funny how men pretends to be so strong yet the whole inside them are slowly breaking apart. Why is it so hard for guys to show what they really feel inside? Why do you have to hide it?

This is a great poem. Short but powerful!

very expressive - yes this life is a funny thing - I like the almost hopeful note to it though - as life tightens its clutch - he holds it together - determined to stay strong! nice!

Woo, i could feel the power in this, the emotion and feel some truth in this!
life is hard, but we have to make the most of it and ignore those dark path of destruction, cut those strings too...

Lots of emotion and truth in this one. The world is a powerful (person, place, or thing)
It is indeed hard to be strong and stay strong.
Sometimes I too feel like a rubberband, being pulled, stretched to my limits.
Life is so hard sometimes.
Great piece
