One Strike

Contributed by drummerchic18 on Monday, 19th July 2004 @ 09:02:20 PM in AEST
Topic: oops

One strike left, I'm down and out
Only can take one more hit before it's over
One more blow then I fall to the ground and die before your virgin eyes
Don't tell me you understand
Quit trying to be my hero, my superman.
I need no rescuer
I just need a quiet place, a solitude.
I don't need your heroic arms
Quit pretending like you are going to keep me from harm
Because hurt comes in the night
Like a wild animal awaiting to devour your soul.
You cannot expect it, for it does not disturb your slumber
Until the last minute where it bites and hurts for a lifetime.
I only have one strike left before I leave for eternity
I can't take anymore
My heart is bleeding out over the red florr.
The storms will never leave, you can stay there
I don't want you to come close to me, yet I don't want you to leave.
I'm standing here
Being crushed by my torment of my own defeat
I know it's coming
Not much longer before I die out
I can't take anymore pain
I'm all drawn out.
I've got one last hit
before my blood runs thin
I can only take so much
Before the ground beneath me crumbles
How can I go on
How can I keep strong
Does anyone have an answer for me?
Is the answer before my eyes
yet something I do not wish to see?

Well I can certainly relate to this in many ways especially when i was younger.
U are much stronger than u think.
U can make it jus realize that dying is easy but it takes inner strength to weather what comes at us. U will learn as u grow but ya gotta jus know that God luv's u no matter what and as eternal enity's then we gotta be some where all time.so we'll jus go to a different planet in a new body.
Hang in there!
This is a powerfull write that everyone can relate to in one way or half a dozen.
Keep writing as u will learn the power of the pen to heal.
luv, huggs, Prayer, hope,
emy
