Dear Life Why Now?

Written: December- 1st- 2012
By: Emily L. Lui

Dear life
Your ways are quite
Evil
 Cruel
To call a duel right now
When I can't even stand

Life asked
Would you like to hide in bed
With your eyes closed in darkness
With none of reason why life choose you?
Like the respect of flat dirt?
 

See your eyes?
The fear burning
Feel the pain?
Sense it peers
Deeply to the soul
 Stronger than acid 
Scared and Scarred
Yet placid in place
You've learned nothing yet
So fight
Or flight

Know you have got to earn your keep
 
One will never know the dear
Precious fears of another 
This is your own war
Earn your award
I'll acknowledge it if anything

Now is the perfect time

Author's Note

I'll take anything!

I cannot say home much I can relate to this ahaha...seems I can relate to a lot of things, and I never realized it.
Anyway, this a very lovely and power poem. Love it
