Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
I thought I would share another poem. Forgive me if I have shared this one before - it is hard to remember which ones I have shared since I shared some in the past and then stopped until recently. I hope you will all enjoy this one. Let me know what you think.
This one is about there being a darkness, but if you don't give up you can get past it.
Take The Lead --
You can’t see the truth
behind closed doors
contaminated corpse
nobody wants anymore
Darkness all around
Air thickened black with smoke
there is no solid ground
in a life without hope
You can do your best,
but never really succeed
A life that is lost
Can’t take the lead
So let go of your inhibitions
Just give living a try
You’ll see if you just put in some effort
You can reach the other side
When the darkness finds you,
Laugh right in its face
You can stand up for yourself,
and say, “another time, another place”
It may get hard at times,
but eventually you will see
If you don’t give up
You can take the lead

I am glad you like this one, another darker one but with some not so dark at the end.

Nicely penned. You have poetic talent; this I say from one poet to another.
