CAREFULLY LISTEN

Raven333

Everybody always tells me,

why don't you write

about love and light.

Because all I know,

is sadness 

and what goes bump in the night.

Believe me,

I have tried

but to me it all boils down to,

one big lie.

Can't always,

do what other people want,

Am not cramming it

down your throat.

If you don't like it,

well then

stop reading what I wrote.

Everybody,

will like different things

that's what makes us all unique.

But some of us actually believe,

that any day now

that they will sprout wings.

I call bullshit,

and keep being who you are.

Has anybody,

walking away from you

hurt you so far?

Like me,

don't like me.

I will not lose any sleep.

Cause I know,

the things I write about

are pretty dam deep.

Some people want to run,

the real world

scares them to death.

Everybody,

some day

will draw their last breath.

Your no better,

just because

you wish to deny.

If you listen,

real carefully

you can hear me sigh.!

    Another great write here Raven, of course you can't write about what you've not felt, but I think folk are trying to encourage you to move forward from the darkness of your past into a brighter future !

    • Raven333

      Yeah probably, but yet another darkness sets upon me...
