Array ( [sid] => 82244 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => In Times Like These [time] => 2005-01-31 02:33:42 [hometext] => sometimes my mind just get so damn full of LIFE , plus all the daily struugles, and can't keep from spinning. And I wonder if this is what it is truely all about [bodytext] => In times like these, when there's so much mixed emotion.
I feel as though the chains, keeping me bound in silence,
Are forever linked to me.
At times when I'm feeling somewhat down,
And my mind retreats someplace -
Somewhere far off,
That's kept me strong -
And safe..
Kept me safe..
With the faith that God, will never give me more than I am, able to.take..

It's one painful issue,
One after the other -
Without a rest, or brief intermission.
Another reason,
For one bad decision..
The one that I made when I trusted in you -
To be there...

When in truth I know I'm all I've got,
And if I don't care -
Do I even have a prayer...

Never did I see myself as very complex,
Or hard to define..
I'm straight forward,
Working hard to exist, for however much time that I've been granted..

So who am I?
Really, does anyone know -
Who lives inside?

We just continue forward,
In this thing we know as life..

'Till the day -
We die... [comments] => 3 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 21 [informant] => mbs [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

In times like these, when there's so much mixed emotion.
I feel as though the chains, keeping me bound in silence,
Are forever linked to me.
At times when I'm feeling somewhat down,
And my mind retreats someplace -
Somewhere far off,
That's kept me strong -
And safe..
Kept me safe..
With the faith that God, will never give me more than I am, able to.take..

There are quiet times when we all wonder - you realize this well in your write -

I think purpose becomes clear eventually....

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. ©
