Keep The World At Bay

Contributed by waos on Monday, 2nd February 2004 @ 01:15:44 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry

Maybe I can't beat it.
Maybe I'm not meant to.
This seems my lot in life;
so what else is there for me to do?
Do I even want to leave this behind,
just relegated to my past?
Do I even want to search
for a peace in life that might last?
The process, it takes so long,
it's filled with so much pain.
Dear God! In quitting this
I can't see what I might gain!
It's in my head, sunk into my viens,
and contorted my muscles too.
It's ever present everywhere,
there's nothing I can do.
Dear God! No one on earth can help.
It's too cold. I'm too alone here.
Can you make it go away?
Can you hold me and calm my fear?
Can you keep the world at bay?
Please God,
just keep the world at bay!

I really liked this one, plus it's really vague so it makes you wonder, something i always like.

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. ©
