A Poet For No One..

I feel that words have left me
Those of words to belong in my youth
Words defining… perhaps defying to be
Words to have meant… once a truth

I cannot find… perhaps almost
A kind of lost as compared from before
And perhaps I wasn’t even close
Yet of lost was my memory to adore

Simple unlike now
Simply unlike after
Life is to be bound
Choosing is only time whenever

Some choice I really choose
Believing words then believing somebody
And with words… I simply rose
My love to become a now… a nobody

I am lost… I have words
No longer in my youth yet I belong
So many years… so much words unheard
Must I give up to simply move along?

Hi Joel. Life might not always please but we are all subject to failure. Just hang in and the joys of life will outweigh the sorrows. Thank you, Eamon

I think this is just a wonderful poem, you have a gift for words, you are not a nobody, you are poet, and a good one and words are your sword~~
