The Turn Around

Contributed by ToriVeigh on Thursday, 13th November 2003 @ 10:43:33 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

My heart is full of sadness
Or maybe its dread I feel
I sense I’m drowning in darkness
For my fate it does seal

How can I go from bad to good?
From hour to hour I change
My emotions can’t be understood
For they never stay the same

Often I feel I’m over stressed
Like I’m about to burst
Of course, then I get depressed
Oh for peace, how I thirst

When you have no control
Over the circumstance you’re in
How can you expect to keep your soul
Free from the darkness and sin?

Maybe you should take a step back
So the view you can better see
Hopefully, you can find the right track
Or at least a lighted street

When you don’t like the circumstance
And all you do is *****
It’s time to decide to take a chance
Your old ways, its time to ditch

My advice seems simple enough
When it applies to you and not me
It’s not that I’m made of different stuff
I just don’t know how to be free

Help for you, I’m happy to give
But for me I don’t know how
All I really want is to live
Through life’s obstacles, I want to plow

Why can’t it be as easy as it sounds?
But where would be the challenge in that?
If all the easy paths were found
What would we do but sit and chat?

We would always be bored to tears
And lose interest in everything
Hopeless we’d be, I fear
And we’d never have reason to sing

All of our motivations in life
Our goals we wish to obtain
Even when you engage hordes of strife
Make existence worth the pain

If you can turn things around
See from a different point of view
Many people you may astound
When your heart’s no longer torn in two

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
