Life, late night poem, if you wanna read it
Edited on Mon Apr-25-05 10:40 PM by JohnKleeb
Starin at the moon, move my hand 'cross my face
and I simply smile, I think about what life really means
I think of things I done, people Ive met, places Ive gone
Then there was when I thought of her and just simply smiled

Ain't even allowed to buy booze or hell even cigs or porn yet
Yet think I am a growin, here am I, my bright blue eyes remain focused
and I simply smile just to know that everything was gonna be all right
To think that there is someone out there, who she is, I dont know?

On lonely nights, I realize how lucky I really am
Realize how much I love life
Realize how much it is all worth it in the end
Realize despite failure, i will triumph in the end

I then break down in a stream of tears
Rememberin' the many who are gone and departed
I stare at the night sky and under my breath say
Its only just begun, and then the next part of my life begins

6. I wrote that spontaeuosly
My best poetry has come when I have been bored in lunch in a cafteria, the song "Rivers of Babylon" was on my mine when I wrote it too.
