Struggle on and on

Struggle on and on

A Poem by John Holmes
"

this is random and depressive. i was down when I wrote this so yeah. My head ladies and Gentleman.

"
Why do we do this?
struggle on and on
to the turnings of time

struggling evermore.
ever on and on.
going no where fast.
listening to the pain.
the pain of hearts break.

Screaming.
screaming souls.
your soul.
screaming
as you push ever on
and on.

you're pushing deeper, deeper.
losing yourself.
in the abyssal trench on your mind.

on and on you push.
the screaming won't stop.

Why don't you just pull the trigger?
and stop the wheels turning?
I don't know why either.

My new talented friend, never apologize for your creative mind, as poets our words often come directly from our soul. No matter what the subject, as they can be very diverse indeed. I have similar scribes and sometimes after I woke up and found the empty wine bottles rolling at my feet, had to look at again at what I penned the night before and wonder why I published it, however I make no excuse for my writing. I am who I am and any gifts my Muse give to me, I publish. This work is directly a mood at the time, let it stand as is my poet. One suggestion, no need to place it under MATURE, you will get more views by placing it in everyone. This should be read by everyone indeed. Peace my friend.

J it is in moments like these when the heart and soul is exposed, your creative mind flows, and bleeding thoughts are penned. Never apologize for that. This is a piece many can relate to, and I've felt this way many times in my life. I didn't just read your words, I felt them. It is during these dark times that we find strength. Much love to you, my friend.

Sometimes a "purging" like this is necessary in order to move forward. The concept is not lost on me...I have felt this way. My piece about the Pheonix is sort of related, in that there is that ever moving cycle of life and then there are the "little deaths" in between where we succumb and then come out of the darkness only to see the darkness starting to press in on us again. Anyway, I totally feel this one.

Technically...there are some things you could do to clean this up a little. A few punctuation errors, and some of the repetition of words could be dealt with a little differently, I think. Still, I'm looking on this as I said before, a necessary purging of thought.
