I believe that this poem teaches a great lesson about life, please read. |
I walk this lonely road today, Bowing my head as if to pray, When really all I’m aiming to do is wash away the pain, Instead I’m failing miserably as I drown in the November rain. Get up, carry on, I tell myself, before all hope’s gone. So I take a breath but can’t make it through, I guess I’m just not trying, truth is, I don’t want to. But I have to remember, family’s always glad to see me when the rest have shut their door, They always smile and comfort me when I say I can’t do it anymore. Friends are becoming distant, but haven’t faded away, Though the hurt still lingers, the rain’s teaching me today. The cut’s still deep, the waters high, But I only have one chance, maybe I don’t want to kiss it all goodbye. A few more steps into the unknown, I guess it’d pay me to just pick up the phone. Dial a familiar number, and for once in my life, take a chance, roll the dice, Not be afraid to ask a friendly face for advice. Seconds forever passing my by, The strumming of the droplets a soothing lullaby, Punch in the numbers like a forbidden code, The voice on the other line nearly makes me explode. I spill my guts, and in the end he really did listen, Told me he’d been there, said there are people we’re all missin’, Just then I swear, the sun came out, As if to mock me, as if to shout, You foolish girl so bashful at heart, You sure have been stupid for a child deemed so smart. We all have opportunities weather or not we choose to see that, If the roundest circle fits not into the square, we simply make it flat. |
