PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

perhaps what I'm just now about to undertake could be

considered a point in the right direction

all I've every wanted from my promise full poetry is a

means to give and get a little protection

deep beneath this sugar coated sweet exterior

there lays an unexplainable contamination and infection

I want to right what it is that's wrong within

but I can only take myself on section by section

first I suppose I should expose my anger and rage to

the open air

since I'm feeling a little kind though I think my

past misjudgments I'll politely spare

I should I suppose try to strengthen and reinstate

my license for coping

and now that I think about it I do have an awful habit

of moping

my general inexperience will be taken care of with

the passing of time

out of the well of self pity I suppose now would be

a good time for me to climb

this knack I have for rival-less self abuse I must

destroy

courage pulled from the depths of despair

I'll no longer keep in my ready arsenal as a possible

ploy

my strong points are few yet I can't think up one

in which to mention

right now I'm merely focusing on the possibility

of future depression's prevention

if I could just clean up everything nicely inside

I wouldn't have to worry anymore over waters

not yet tried

I hope I've come out of this a little wiser for

trying to be objectively smart

this may not be the answer to the ending

but at least its a start

maybe you could say in my own life I've finally

taken an active part

I know now loving yourself even a little

takes a lot of pressure off one's heart

and alas I've finally figured out

'tis best to put the bull before the cart

for my troubled self I am thankful

that by writing this

I was able to repair a small part............
