Poetry Time: Halfway To Heaven

Hello everyone, how are you all doing? Back to share another poem I wrote. This one was written back when I was in school (high school or college, I forget). One day we were given a list of words we had to look up the definitions for so I took some of those and came up with this poem. Kind of a darker poem too, I know. But most of you know that was my style back in the day. Would love to know what you think of the poem as always. There goes my dedication Lost amongst the translation fixed on the sensation and this is where we say goodbye Tell me about your frustration Swallowed by your own sedation another fascinating fixation and I know about all of your lies You’re just a master in deviation looking for your asphyxiation within the tattered and torn nation have you had your fix yet? Torn apart in this revelation to find yourself you must find salvation Time to start a whole new renovation make yourself feel no regret You lost yourself in sweet temptation it’s your life’s intoxication where will you find your sweet medication Halfway to Heaven or the gateway to Hell? Put down all your false perception can you feel this road’s foundation Fall below and watch yourself fall for the duration Who’s going to ring your bell? So, when are going to ask for salvation? It’s the only way to fix your direction Hurry now, before death makes a reservation to take you far from here.

It is darker, but I do like it. I found it very emotional. You were on your way, even back then, to be gifted in poetry writing.

@DianneN Well a lot of the time I am just too busy to write, and then when I have time nothing comes to mind lol. Maybe I should take my son's spelling list and use those words lol.

Sometimes darker just has more feeling.... and I could always write that better. Thanks, I just wish I had kept up with it.
