[hometext] => Because some things are worth fighting for, Some things are worth dying for, And if love is not such a thing Then it’s life itself that’s a lie.
[bodytext] => ---------_________------------- If I disappeared tomorrow Another writer would take my place If I died suddenly and tragically Any soul with a voice could carry my message If I quit and walked away Someone else would do my job And If I decided I wasn’t strong enough Almost anyone could protect my friends But if I vanished today Would you miss me my love? Or would someone just fill the void in your heart? Would someone be able to take my place with you? My place in your bed? My place in your life? My place in your heart? Because if someone could my love If someone could make you happy Then let me step aside now Let me disappear once and for all Let someone else take my place And bear the burdens that I carry now If someone else can take my place for you Let me go the way of ancient Gods And disappear into oblivion Let me nestle down at a truck stop Somewhere on the edge of nowhere There in the corner I’ll sit With my hat covering my face Hiding, sulking, being replaced. If I am truly expendable Then let me go there Because I grow weary of fighting I grow tired of pressing on I’d rather bow out with grace and applause Then forever live a lie, doing another man’s work But if you’d miss me Even for one moment on some distant day Then I won’t budge I won’t give Because some things are worth fighting for Some things are worth dying for And if love is not such a thing Then it’s life itself that’s a lie And I am just a piece of a larger puzzle That spans the entire universe Making paper look oceans deep So if you need me as much as you say Then I’ll be here By your side Never moving Always fighting Waiting until I do become replaceable With my hat in hand And my route to nowhere mapped out On a napkin in the back of my mind [comments] => 5 [counter] => 219 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MajesticPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
