Stay Strong

A poem...

I have an intrusion

-of thoughts where I’m losin’

My mind to this illusion

Of peace within the confusion

But I’m choosin’-to stay calm

And amidst the storm I’ll stay strong

I’ve been pissed for too long

I’ve lost my mind, its long gone

 

But I’ll attempt to regain

My sanity- I’m insane

And if you don’t listen to half my words

At least retain,

These next few lines, in your brain

They’re here to save lives, and cease pain

 

In life, we’re all soldiers

fighting against death-we grow bolder

And if you have someone special- you better hold her

Cuz the second you lose your composure

-those may be the last words that you told her

And your life will be much colder,

 

Without her there to keep you warm

And you’ll find yourself caught in a swarm

Of plagues and sorrow

And you’ll wake up each day, hoping tomorrow

It’ll be the end, cuz you live on borrowed

-time. And borrowed sanity.

And you plan to see, the end of this calamity

Called your life.

Whether it’s through someone else,

-or your own knife.

 

So if something is special, keep it close.

Cuz everyone in this world knows,

How fragile we all are,

-but love is eternal, and it’ll take you far

to realms further and grander than any star.

 

So give me the storms, give me the rain.

Give me the sorrow, give me the pain.

I may appear troubled, but I’m not insane.

Because when it rains, I carry an umbrella.

And when there’s sorrow, I’ll handle it like any fella.

I’ll move on, I’ll stay strong.

Cuz I know, luv, it won’t be long.

‘Til all our troubles are long gone.

 

I felt a heartache, but I was given love again.

And I realize now,

-this was the one I was meant to fall in.

And luv, I just have one request

Trust me, Whit, and I’ll do my best.

We’re fated to be happy,

So don’t be distressed.

Just keep on fighting…

Fate will do the rest.

This is really really good. "And you plan to see, the end of this calamity/ Called your life./ Whether it’s through someone else,/ or your own knife." I love it. Great job as always.

It was late when I wrote, so it was more of a freestyle. Reading it now I think it could use a bit of editing, but I'm glad you like it. Yeah, I liked that line, as well. Thanks for reading. I'm gonna try and get some more stuff up here over the next week.
