A Matter Of Time

8-18-10

I have felt like my life holds me behind bars,
We know that with time comes healing
Whatever doesn't kill you might leave a large scar,
I gather that is what I must be feeling
If this existence was one of ease,
Then everyone would take the trampled path
This life time is anything but a breeze,
So take the road less traveled and do the math
It's harder to go it alone when you can't have a crutch,
Make sure you don't use anything to balance
Walking free and seeing the sign that says "Don't Touch",
This makes life interesting and you actually taking a stance
Hold your ground and let no one shake you,
This is what I have learned on my own dime
Make sure you are true to yourself and do what you have to do,
Everyone else who doubts you will be proven wrong in a matter of time.

Everybody in their life form a philosophy of life based on their experiences..and move ahead with it….
It happens to all…irrespective education or their intellectual capacity…
What I see in your poem is such an attempt…
And you put it…..in a touching way….
And many of your thoughts are acceptable…as most of them are universal…..
