I Wonder

by Rahl The Layman Lord   Jun 4, 2007


Some days I look at the past
Seeing those horrible days
Those days I wish to forget
The ones that have left scars unseen
I wonder...
How have I been able to go on?
I have to smile at the thought
An ironic amusement at the answer
Some days I look at the past
Seeing those wonderful days
Those days that remind me I'm alive

I have lived a horrific nightmare
And I have lived a dazed dream
I can not forget but I can go on
I can forgive and ask to be forgiven
Please, give me another chance
Another chance to live
To live the 'good life'
To be happy to be alive
To enjoy the beauty before me

I will reach for the stars
What I will reach is unknown
I can hope and wish
But I will never give up
I have been shown great beauty
The nobility of man
The power of compassion
The pain of sacrifice
It is...amazing
I'm grateful for the chances I've had
There is much I regret
But I will do better

    I've read this before & left it uncommented. As you can see.
    Before .. when I read it, I didn't like it.
    B ut, as I read it again I do like it, a lot.
    It seems to have meaning to it, of course it does, but more than last time.
    Maybe because.. Hmm. NO idea, but oh well.
    Last stanza is amazing, along with the question being asked.
    Good Job Hunni. :]

    P.S. How have I been able to go on? < Because you're just that strong, hun. :]

    I enjoyed reading this, either because it's good to see you writing once again or because of the actual quality and message. A bit dramatic, but I think a lot of people can relate to the pain and loss you express, as well as the hope for a 'new beginning.' However, the conclusion erks me a bit. There is no point regretting things, feeling remorse perhaps...but regret? Maybe those two words are one in the same, but the ideas I percieve behind them are different. Be who you are, be happy but not at the expense of others. Ok, now I'm rambling.

    I'm tired. Take care. Good writing.

    5/5
