Facing the Music

by myshiningstar14   Mar 7, 2006


Look inside your heart,
the love is there.
The music stops when
you're not here. The
song begins when you're
near.

With my worn soul,
I stumble, to find
myself again. All I
know is that it's time
to face the music.

One-step, oh whats
that? Seems like I
skipped another beat;
wish I could go back
and rewind.

With the numbness
that reigns, I mumble,
and loose myself again.
All I know is that it's
time to face the music.

Right? Left? Oh which
way to go? Is there any
way to know?

Look inside your
soul. The beat is there.
The music stops when
you're not here. The
song begins when
you're near.

With my raspy breath,
I choke, to find my way
back to life. All i know is
that it's time to face the
music.

Yes? No? Maybe so?
How am I to know?

Look inside your
mind. The answers there.
The music stops when
you're not near. The song
begins when you're here.

With my injured body,
that lies on the ground, I
loose myself. All I know
is that it's time to face the
music.

Take the chance?
Risk it all? Stay safe and
warm?

Look inside your
passion. The sound is
there. The music stops
when you're near. The
song begins when you're
here.

**Note: Value the choices you make, you got one chance, one life. And when it gets tough and you're not sure where to look,, there's tons of places to rely on. Just face the music...take it and run. You don't even have to know where you're going, bc as long as you're going at least ur moving on in life. Instead of sitting there, moping around and wasting time. ENJOY! VOTE N' COMMENT :) Lissa*

    This is a work of art unto its self...i love the rhyme scheme, and how you've written it. and i agree with the moral of this. its just that when times get hard, and you lose the very ones you go to for support, thats when it gets hard to keep moving...i know i dont have the worst life, but sometimes it sure as hell feels that way....but to all of the readers, you just gotta remember, never give up hope, because theres always tomorrow

    Wow i absolutely adore this poem!! first you begin it so strongly by saying "the music starts wen youre near" and later as if thats not enough you say "wen youre HERE." im totally in love with that.
    and i also completely agree with wat uve ritten down...of how we always must keep going, no matter what happens. hope is always there, until we ourselves send it away.

    Take care girl, you cannot begin to imagine how much each of your comments means to me! i remember i had promised you i'd comment on all ur poems soon...and i havnt forgotten that...but my exams are still going lol...theyre ending on the 23rd of march...i promise i'll do that afterwards. keep writing lissa, and thanks once again for making me feel wonderful with your comments, and this poem. it really gave me hope. youve helped a soul!
