Live

It was a rough night, so I got it out the only way I know how.

It’s all let downs and mistakes
Missed chances and double takes
Guilty feelings and hidden tears
Cowardice and stupid fears
Fake laughter and faker smiles
Huge regrets and big denials
Shattered dreams and smothered hopes
Old graveyards and sunken boats
Whispered lies and tell-all gazes
Foggy skies and muddled hazes
All for hope that you’ll survive
Ain’t it great to be alive?

this is a great poem, it's very deep and insightful. but don't forget that even when it's cloudy the sun still shines. great poem, rose

i like this poem. it make me smile. 'ain't it great to be alive' indeed. i like how the last part is a question after all the statements...I've most likely felt this way before as well. good job :)
