Sainthood

I must be heading toward a high spiritual plane

cuz I am so selfless....who is to blame

tired of going for sainthood

cuz it does me no good

here but maybe there

I will be aware

why I did this on my path

let's do the math

My heart is breaking

my soul is aching

I try

not to cry

I keep on trying

but I can't stop crying

It's hard to breathe

It's easy to believe

I may die of a broken heart

I'm glad poetry is my art

Maybe emotions can get out

Let my soul scream and shout

Very nice and altruistic

Why can't life be more simplistic

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Took three recent starts of poetry that didn't seem whole alone and blended them together and they seem to work...probably on the same thought flow...not sure about the title but need to call it something for now I don't like to use Untitled if possible to call it something and maybe change it later if I feel the need...in case wondering where one ends and another starts...first ends at do the math....second starts at My heart...and ends with let my soul scream and shout and third starts  Very nice...so they kinda work all together and the last two not enough on their own...maybe may separate someday maybe not who knows...Maybe the first two could work alone as short poems but the last one was just a start of something or this ending...Pam
