PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So weary
the struggle so long
try so hard to make things better
no one cares
happy living their lives
that are conducive to damnation
dragging me into the mire
with no respect or regard

right now words are confusing
I can't make thoughts clear
trying to express feelings
that may help dispel my fear

life can be good
it's been mandated so
follow the path chosen
for us by God
why for some
do they choose the path to Hell

trying always trying
never seeming to succeed
not enough strength left
to make them give heed

my life becoming a void
no matter how hard I try

discouraged, ready to give up
God please don't forsake me
give me the strength
to do what I must
don't want to die like this
want out of my lethargy

just a few years left
to live right and be happy
will it happen

done some bad in my life
made some mistakes
but mostly I've tried to be good
to give love and care
life has often been hard
still what I have I willingly share

to be cont......
