My Place

Written pre deletion day, the day I wrote this is especially pertenant. You can ask if you like.

My Place

 

If there was a time, it is now,

If there ever was a day, it is today,

This is your chance, your only chance, my only chance.

Please...

 

The defining moment is nigh,

It calls and calls, it rains on deaf ears,

Listen harder; ignorance will not work this time.

Please...

 

You have the power, do not waste it,

So much time has been lost but it's not to late,

Carpe Diem, do not let the poetry die.

Please...

 

Regret eats the soul, it will take yours,

Why let it when you can fight?

I will not let you down; the rest is up to you.

Please... I beg you.

The only time I have ever felt so complete is when I hold a pen poised over a paper with a poem in mind. You have a very strong message, and you relate it well in each verse. I think I will keep your words in circulating thought the next time I go to pray to the creativity gods.

O wow.... This is very powerful.... Such a deep piece. Pleading...

Regret eats the soul, it will take yours,

This here stuck to me a little... regret really does eat your soul... Funny i never thought about it like that, but I should be the poster child for that. Wow this is kinda an eye opener for me.

I love the urgency of this poem. It reminds me of a quote from The SHawshank Redemption that I just seconds ago posted in a comment:

Get busy living, or get busy dying!

It is a prayer, but it must be one of hope and a strong future and having the strenght to leave the
past behind..........such a pleading piece, so sad, and hurting.
Your words will never die, poetry is in your soul, but only you can write the future.........
Don't waste your power ......well written.
