My Very Own Nevada

Teddy.15


Notice of absence from Teddy.15
I'm currently on a beautiful island with the ghost of Napoleon see you all soon, when I return from my annual holidays. So take care and I'll see you all soon. 💜
 

I was twenty-seven years’ old

my spark gone

lost all hope in love

was drowning

in my very own

sin city

 

I remember

the day

and hour

my alarm clock

died willingly

 

I felt nothing

 

I didn't even notice

 

every hour was the same

 

Dark

Cold

Empty

Lonely

 

I pinned myself

to a bill board

on Fremont Street once

 

but nobody saw me

 

a million tiny lights

and I still didn't shine

 

someone once told me

if I wanted to touch the sun

first, I’d have to climb out

of these

my deepest darkest fires of hell

 

and, I finally did …

with naked feet.

    You are right Teddy I remember this poem well from the last posting and this ending is much better indeed (not that the other was bad but rather that this one is better) it gives a whole different feel to the poem. Brilliant!!

      Dear sorrenbarret this poem being one of my most personal and comes from a place when I was young, now I'm older. Written 15 years ago ever knowing the ending didn't fit, after much pause and without stress, I have now finally found the ending that fits.
      (I think) LoL thank you for all your kind words of support always dear friend. 🌹

      Dear Teddy. An inspirational write with a superb ending. When you hit rock bottom, there’s only one way up. Naked feet tell me of the pain it takes and the struggle in climbing out of the mire. Kudos 🌹💜

            With all the hardship we encounter in life, it's the only thing to do. Thank you dearest Andy. I certainly did and I am forever here to share and to encourage others to do the same. 🌹 Thank you dear friend. 🌹
