The Questioning Life

The chapter in my life remains in questions, Am I going to make my it at the end of the line? The cold, dark hole is where I stand, Will I make it out in time with no one's hand? My feet taken me lower, Into the darkness and it's hard to breathe, Others tend to look the other way, All I can do is stand still, Filled with silent cries, I will remain here for a while, Still with patience and with faith, My fire is still burning, And it won't go out, Until I choose when it's over. That's what I'm all about. People's questions still yet to come, You will see when I am done. Will I master this test ?

This is also a great poem by you, Ashley. It's refreshing to see another rhymer in the fold. Most of my work is rhyme so I love it when I meet a fellow Rhymster lol. Enjoyed this work; kudos to you, hon ;)

I would like to learn how to write others, but mostly I like to play with words. Thank you!

Hi Ashley, wow, all that great epic wording... Being burned by the moment of a test.. ha, love it. , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT"
