Poetry: My painful past

by Fleurdelis

Created on: April 04, 2009

yea

it hurts

but i muddle on thru anyhow

if life ain't been a crystal stair for some folks

imagine climbing the tore up boards with

lead feet

joined by a dead body

wanting simply to admit defeat

give up and say screw it

you knew when you blew it; or someone blew you

painful though it may be

quitting was not an option for me

nor a failure in the making;

what's most unfair is not having...

the unction to just throw in the towel

as bad as it hurts

stopping now is null

at the end of a long dark day

if my future is still vast

Then my muddling on thru today

cain't be dictated by my past.
