youthful tears

as a young man I wanted to do so much, help those in need....for the lonely....for those shunned by society....loveless......etc.

I would like to do something
more and to greatly engage
myself for those that travel to
another world because this one
doesn't descend anymore for them.

 

for those that feel oppressed
in the grasp of their perplexities
and that know they have lost
too much already and that their only
desire is to win at least one precious race.

 

I would like to devote myself
and to give everything I've got
to give everything one can give...
to those that have knocked
on every door already
and always got a no,
to those that remained
lonely in so much trouble.

 

and I would like to liberate
every spirit close to mine
I would like to do something
more for these young tears
I would wish that they would
never fall, that my heart and words 

could prevent their fall.

 

to you who stays alone
behind a window while you're
looking who's leaving and you
cry because you know that
person won't come back anymore

 

to you because you are being
put aside because you have never
been pretty and you don't have a
love story although you're
waiting for one with open arms

 

I would like to be the person to cheer up

every spirit close to mine

I would like to do something
more for these young tears
I would wish that they would
never fall, that my heart and words 

could prevent their fall.

 

there are many things I wanted to do
that I could somehow give to everybody,
if only I had arms as big
as my loving heart,

to wipe away those tears

of loneliness,

to soothe every lost soul,

to extend my hand and prevent

their tearful fall,

If only I could turn back time

I would of done so much more,

 

Yesterday is in the past

and gone and all I have left

are these tears of cowardness

and shame, for failing to wipe

away the misery out there,

for not making a difference,

I can only seek out forgiveness

for only now I realize

There was so much more I

could and should of done,

these youthful tears will

forever flow to create

a river of sorrow and sadness,

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE............

Dude, you are a powerful voice...you are doing something right now, whether you know it or not. You are affecting US...your words are affecting each one of us who reads this. You are making a difference right this very second, for you have affected me. Thank you so much for sending me this to read because I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am a better person for having read it.

One piece of advice, though...let your white horse out to pasture; I had to let mine go. I have for years tried to play savior only to be hurt more times than I can count. The world is a lot colder place than you might think. Just let him run free out on the plains of our past. And think to yourself, I cannot save the world, but I AM, I AM, making a difference with my writing.
Peace.
Peaches.

There is never a reason to stop trying to change the world my friend. For every word we write moves one person if not a group to seeing the world a little differently. I think you have done something here to be proud of and don't ever think you shouldn't try to make a difference.


Great Job!!!!!!

Okay, this poem does flow very well. I can't find fault in this piece. The words are so powerful that I had tears in my eyes. This is seldom for me. I just want you to know that through your poetry, I see a good hearted person with lots of love to give. You rock!

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Hit's me like a bullet to the heart! Ouch! I know these feelings all to well... but you know, I want to keep trying. Even though you could have done things better in the past.... it's the past! You can't change it. You can only make a difference in the present. I say don't give up.

Thanks for sharing this piece with us. It's very heart wrenching and I know a lot of people have felt this way at some point in their life. Regretting the past and wishing they could have done it better, only to be dragged down because they feel powerless.

Definitely a powerful voice. I wish I had your way with wrods like this. Thanks for sharing.

You can choose whatever piece you wish to read of mine, my stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea, with that said this was a great piece and the message was lovely as well!

[George Love]

WEll written work, very deep thoughts and emotions!

[Sally Edwards]

Beautifully written Nico, so honest and heart rending, I had tears in my eyes as I read, we all have what if's but we have to let go and see what we can do now as the past is too late. I found this a very poignant read.

Thank-you all for taking the time to read my poem, it's just too bad I couldn't add music to the piece....I had an instrumental music video to go along with the poem but I guess this place does not allow you to add music.....if it does I don't know how......can anyone inform me on this?

Nico, I like what you have done with your editing...it shines a more hopeful and understanding light on your character! BRAVO.
