PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My Reason:



Sadly sickening, the pain always stays

Tearing and riping, it never goes away

The pain never ceases, it always goes on

Day after day as I try to stay strong



       Staying sweetly numb, I remain

       Carrying on my shoulder all of my pain

       Unknowiningly all I know is shame

       As I live this life out in vain



For many years all I did was struggle

Seemed to be that I was wearing a muzzle

I sat back, never uttering a word

Never speaking out, never being heard



     Many times I could have helped myself

     But I put my problems on the back of a shelf

     I hid behind this mask you see

     Because I never wanted to be me



As the years rolled on life got tougher

I was heading down a road that only got rougher

And the pain seemed to still remain

Driving me mad, making me go insane



     Many times I contemplated suicide

     Because the pain was the only one by my side

     Many days I wonder why I am still here

     and I know it is because of my fear



Now I am doing better you see

I have found a reason for me

Love has become my reason for life

It has been what has gotten me away from the knife
