Is Me

the resiliencey of human spirit the test of a man the trials and tribulations written out upon the palms of our hands once easily fixed, now broken a heart in pieces on the floor but the joy we feel in life keeps us coming back for more all the pain and sorrow frought within our head with the help of loved ones elation takes it's stead but when no one is left to make you feel complete your soul, your heart begin to deplete now I've pushed away my brothers and replaced their love with fear but who is there to blame the answer, my dear, is clear I've done this to myself which makes the feeling worse no one to take the fault no evil doer which to curse It's been my choice to be alone to live solemnly day to day until I am forgotten until I fade away and as my final days approach it's easier to see that the only one who can save me from me is me

Hi Lucas.A very strong, profound piece and well written We are all at times our own worst enemy.The trouble is we can't always see it.Your words might get us thinking.And if realisation takes place then that is the beginning of change.I think this is quite philosophical as well as being interesting to read.These are very well chosen words to reach and to teach.I also like their poetic quality as well as your introspection and insight.A favourite for me.Love June
