Have I?

Have I not cried enough tears for you to hear?

Have I not had enough nightmares to know fear?

Have I not been sick long enough to need a cure?

Have I not live enough time to know a wasted life?

Have I not seen enough pain and agony to feel sorrow?

Have I not walked in the dark long enough to see the light?

Have I done enough wrong to know right?

My face is a photograph, which emotion would you like to see?

Popcorn and balloons, it’s everything but heavenly.

Sadly we can never go back to the way things used to be.

How much longer do I need to be tired to know rest?

How much more do I need to fail to know success?

How many more lives and hearts do I need to destroy to know happiness and restore what’s left?

I feel guilt and shame knowing my sins will be forgiven and my soul will be refreshed!

The snow, how much longer does my soul have to be cold until I get to view the sun?

And when I do, will it be the last days of summer?

To resist, or to embrace this abomination that hungers?

When broken is easily fixed, how easily will you break it again?

To live this way is to die this way!

This is what I dread, to become what is written.

I really really like this piece. This is the first thing you wrote? Wow. Words cannot explain how fantastic this is. Like i said, you have a talent that is too great for this world, but I am glad you are sharing it here with us and with me. Thank you.

Yes it was and I work really hard in developing my own style and letting my voice speak for itself. And thank you, I really appreciate it!

[pierced_rebel]

I can see that. I see a distinctive pattern throughout the majority of your works and I think it's important as writer to establish your own watermark in your words. I feel like you have already done that, so kudos to you!

If I could sum up my daily thoughts into a poem; this is how it would be. So many questions we have and there is simply not enough time in a day or even a week, nor year, to answer them.
Amazing write.

These are questions we ask ourselves whenever we're hurt.
And nobody has the answers which is sad.
But you know what's not sad?
The fact that your poem is so beautiful!
Rocked it again David! :)

My heart was hurting during the time I wrote it. I almost didn't write it because I was just going to leave town after being sick of everything, sick of myself! But I decided to just write about it hehe
