If nothing else.

If nothing else.

A Poem by J.A.N

Barely able to breathe;
Questions that couldn't be answered by mankind.
Standing on cracked concrete.
Hoping for a breeze to dry the sweat on my face.
I pray; if I can't trust this world, and it's population of confusion,
I'll trust someone else.
I whisper to God to calm my soul.
Hum a praise, bow my head.
Sway, and hope for a tomorrow.

You, that's what I've got left.
If nothing else.

Author's Note

J.A.N
Honestly, it was just a thought.
Not meant to be a poem, and it's not.
Uncontrolled writing, results in random postings.

A friend once told me that random thoughts make the best poetry. Sometimes I "free write" and then come back to it and piece it together until it makes a poem. How wonderful that we always have SOMETHING--always.

Very well presented.

despite not intentionally being a poem, its form is pretty poetic, and the sentiments are strong! really nice piece!!

like the ending, and free versve good metaphor and imagery.

I enjoy the hook at the end. The main body is like a prose sonnet, if such a thing could be. A problem, a resolution, but the ending really conveys the sense of loneliness while maintaining strength.

But meant to be or not, it's free form verse. Imagery - check, metaphor - check good - check!
