Contemplation

Amber D. Petty Patrick

Life wasn't made to be this hard.

Decisions weren't made to be that easy.

But there will come a certain time,

Where your heart and mind must speak freely.

The dreams never fade,

And the hopes are very real.

Misery is in the midst.

But only you know how you feel.

Saddened by the circumstance.

Frustrated with no control.

Distancing yourself, 

Hiding with nowhere else to go.

Listening to the words,

Demons whisper in your ear.

You try to run and hide,

Instead you run to face your fear.

It all seemed so harmless.

Life seemed to be so kind.

But this isn't what you expected.

Not what you had in mind.

A strange opportunity, 

Falls to your grace.

Crazed by the decision,

You now have to face.

    Oh boy, you have really got a "take" on life and all of it's gives and takes. Life, from the ten years on constantly surprises us and kicks us when we are down. Love your take on it, completely!

    WELCOME AMBER ~ Thanks for your first pom which really is a sad reflection on life and the hand it dealt you. I can empathise with many of the poiints you make because in some aspects LIFE IS LIKE THAT ! I am an optimist ~ so i have had to learn from my own mistakes and the mistakes of others ! Thinking of you thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN
