Wrong Way

slipping further, falling in, waiting forever, for my life to end. watching everyones face, determining my fate, how much longer, will it take? two days? seven years? whatever the amount, it wont match the number of tears falling victim, to what they say dont know what to do but go their way trusting those who will ultimately lie forgetting those always by your side knowing now as you sit alone the direction you were following was the wrong way to go dont bother to fight it your already there dont bother to lie the truth is aware dont bother to give up its already gone dont bother to lose its already lost you can create a new future but cant erase the past looks like living for the moment didnt seem to last whatever your feeling now is the best way to feel because whatever the feeling is the feeling is real

I can certainly relate to these emotions, you have penned them beautifully. Some times we have to burn to ashes to grow again

My heart hurt reading your carefully chosen words. I can only hope this isn't a sadness you carry around with you every day. The weight and pain of it would be overwhelming. Take comfort in the fact that you have a gift, a skill that can make your heart known to the world, or who will ever listen. Be well and be safe, poet.

Erin, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
