Sudden Turn

by shadow   Feb 19, 2017


It all moves so slowly around me,
As if time is hesitant to move on.
Floating in this empty space, I ask myself,
When did everything go so wrong?

I feel so alone here.
And so out of place.
Not knowing what's next,
But ready just in case.

Do I dare to take a risk,
And step off the beaten path?
What would happen to those I love?
What would be the aftermath?

I have waited forever for an answer.
Screaming my questions in desperation.
But I am greeted with this heavy silence,
That has only left me with frustration.

Now I am left to watch it all go up in flames,
Sparked by hot anger that was here all along.
I have so many questions still left to ask.
Oh when did everything go so damn wrong?

    Wow...this is simply amazing, Shadow. As Peter said, you have mirrored my life as well! It's really great when what I feel is exactly captured by the words of a fellow poet. I think it gives me comfort that we go thru the same things, it gives hope and encouragement.

    Ah! I question the same sometimes. Hard no to do. Oh well, but people say, worrying does not help at all. So I try to take a deep breathe and I try to calm down to try to see the situation with a positive light. It's hard but it's worth the try.

    All the best.

    Shadow! Wonderful work here! You have written a well written and beautiful write. Well done!
    I could of written these words, my life mirrors your words exactly. You are not alone.
    I too have to take that great leap of faith. I look forward to seeing more from your pen.

    Hello Shadow.

    This is a really well written and intriguing write that rhymes beautifully throughout.
    I myself have often been left frustrated by life and wondering what the next turn will bring, or whether or not I should 'step off the beaten path' and take a chance - make things happen myself.
    But what would be the consequences and - often - it's better the devil you know, perhaps.

    Anyway, like you, I continue to procrastinate and wonder if one day I will regret doing so!

    Take care and all the very best,

    Ben
