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.

[sinNsincerity]

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!

This is an awesome piece my friend! Nice flow to this poem... I love the questions you ask... I can definitely relate.

Thank you Aaron, I'm stoked that you could relate.

The comma here doesn't allow this sentence to flow: "My face is a photograph, which emotion would you like to see?"

Overall, great work! I truly enjoyed it!

A outer affirmation that once before the eyes can turn an inner affirmation into the reverse, poignantly observed hon...

Yeah no problem. Go ahead.

Hi - JT sent me here and Im glad he did. There are too many good lines here - profound and deep thoughts that make the reader open their mind and question their own life and behaviour and taking things for granted.
Your moniker kicks arse !

[sinNsincerity]

Thank so much. I highly appreciate you for telling me what you thought about it. Sorry I took so long to reply, I was at school.

[ANTO]

no need for apologies my friend, you're very welcome! ;)

[Jamestown]

Thanks for sharing it with everyone at the Cafe and
never stop writing God has given you a gift and expects
you to use it, thanks again and b-blessed!
