What The Hell

by Robert   Dec 31, 2004


I have ventured a path most will never go,
and look at the scars my body will show.
I have felt pain that I can never really explain,
and I wonder what is my lesson I am to gain?
I want to feel alive like I once did,
remembering back to the innocence of me being a kid.
Before the hurt I witnesses and the shame I felt inside,
past the lies I held in and the pain I now hide.
I want to love again and see the world anew,
I want to feel happiness and the joy that I know is to be true.
What can I do, what actions can direct my course to this life,
is my salvation bought only with a bloody knife?
I am tired of the pity, I am so sick of the pain,
tell me what must I do to go against the grain?
God once said I will not put you through anything you can’t live through,
well if your so damn just then tell me what to do?
What don’t kill us makes us strong some one said,
hmmm I wonder if it’s the same some one that is dead?
Still I have a longing to live, no to fight just one more day,
hoping that happiness will come and stay.
So I move on with another step closer to that final dream,
hinging my life on that one ending scheme.
Some may say it is all lost in the fabric of time,
but I say what the hell since when is living ever a crime?

    While I do love the idea and actual content of this poem, the flow is a bit shaky in some parts. The last line especially needs a bit of editing, it's mainly just the flow that drags the poem down a little. Other than that, I like the poem, and I like the writing. Nice work.

    Well if your so damn just then tell me what to do?
    Seems that there might be a word missing from this line, it didn't make sense to me. Other than that, and the few grammer errors, really well written, I have to agree to agree with xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex Not one of your best.

    Not too bad. Not your best, though.

    What don’t kill us makes us strong some one said,
    [[What were you trying to say here? I believe this is a typo.]]

    Anyways, not too bad. Good description and I could feel your questions. Nicely done.
