A Poem by Lexi Richard

I try not to remember

that one inky year

that felt devoid of the sun

and was full of bitter tears

I was surrounded by pleas

unspoken but heard

my lungs could've collapsed

from the weight of each word

I can't help but think

was I to blame?

she tells me "no,

it's a disease of the brain"

But why are we so fooled?

thinking we are full of might

we believe we're supreme

even when our brains begin to fight

And that year's when I learned -

humans are nothing more

than skin, blood and bones

who have no choice in this world

-l.r.

true, sometimes we don't have choice but still, i'll say live momentarily, live happily. Nice work!

This is amazing, really brilliant write :)
Its so amazing that you could think of such a moving piece, and be this great a writer at your age.
I love the whole story line, and the whole poem.
Was filled with depth, emotion and such meaning.
I loved the rhymes to, they where great, and seems like they come naturally, they don't feel forced.
Keep writing :)

We do have a choice, we can live our lives as best as we are able. We don't know how long we will walk this earth, but however long it is we should love life. All those who died had a life and families, their life was cut short, we all have to go at some time. Let's prepare to die by living to the full. And praise God.
