PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In the beginning I was lost,

I was confused.

Rusted in years of decay

With nothing to lose.

You came in like a lightning bolt

You struck me where I stood.

Didn’t know of what was looming.

I never know what I should.

Life is funny like that.

You know what you know when you know.

I needed to take the harsher road.

Needed to hit my lowest low,

And I was low.

I’ve been overcome and I’m on my knees.

Weary, miserable and shrieking with please.

Never knew what I needed,

Never knew what I needed,

Till right now.

That night was so right,

Not for you but for me.

Your tears ran

And I knew that I was free.

I remember the sound of the stairs,

As your feet smashed on every step.

The way the door slammed behind you.

And I how I closed my door of regrets.

I was trembling in my bed

I finally dared myself to stand.

I needed to take the harsher road

Needed to come up with my own plan

Oh, what a plan.

I’m not overcome and I’m not on my knees.

No longer weary, I’m smiling with ease.

Never knew what I needed,

Never knew what I needed,

Till right now.
