PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it was a good day

until the letter

it was good until that afternoon

in my room

hoping for something

that I had always known would never happen

not to me

if only god did exist

then I would pray

but then everyday

I would be waiting for an answer

there are good days and bad

but being sad is not going to achieve anything

so I try to believe I CAN

because if I can’t believe in myself

how can anyone else?

yes

I know my dream is crazy

but I am I willing to give it all I’ve got

or am I just lazy?

hard work would make a difference

but that would just make failing harder

falling on my face and trying to get back up

and you can’t find success without failure

but is failure worth it?

we all aim high

but that old saying

about reaching for the moon and falling among the stars

well…

the stars are a lot further than we think

and if we miss the moon

we are just surrounded by nothing more than satellites and space junk

all we can do is try to resist

                                                        the urge

the voice repeating itself over and over

telling us we aren’t good enough

that we shouldn’t exist

I can’t take it anymore

the lies

the hopelessness that comes with dreams

it’s too hard to try

but it’s harder to forget

I don’t want to give up

or regret

maybe if I found an inspiration

I would work harder

to find that motivation

because we have to know why we do what we do

if not for us, then for who?

there are two types of people in the world

sheep and shepards

I am a sheep

and when I tried to be a shepard

and lead

no one listened

so I gave up

I grew wool and started walking on four legs

I was a fool

mindlessly following

allowing the shepards show the way

even though I already knew where to go

or maybe I don’t need a leader

would it be so bad if I left the herd?

but what if I learned

I couldn’t make it on my own

could I go back

or would I be left alone?

there are good days and bad

but maybe the bad days are worth

those good days

and I should try to make the most of what I’ve got left

can I find my happy ending?

or am I just living in a fantasy world

PRETENDING

to be someone I'm not
