Robin L. Gass Poet I do not know?

Another Day, Another Fight

Another day
another night
another day
another fight.
I've lost my way
I've lost my sight
I want to stay
but I take flight
when nerves are fray
and sparks ignite.
Another day
another night
another day
another fight.
So I pray
with all my might
to find a way
to make things right
try to convey
all my insight
what I can't say
I try to write
and keep at bay
my endless plight.
Another day
another night
another day
another fight.
It's not OK
I'm not all right
the price I pay
is out of sight
and what I say
is never right
there is no way
to make this right
don't want to stay
don't want to fight
another day
another night.

Debbie Guzzi February 26, 2009 at 5:28 PM sigh, I love the way this pours down the page, out of your heart. I have learned (though I don't always remeber, it takes 2 to fight, no resistance, no fight) At some point it's a total waste of your preciuos energy to even reply. Luv Ya Debbie

Carrie Richards January 10, 2009 at 8:22 AM Found this poem after reading your comment on Kristen's poem....just wanted to say, that I hope you are doing ok, in the company of your sister's home, taking a break, and restoring yourself. I do hope, Robin, that things work out for you soon, and that happiness comes when you least expect it. God Bless ~ Carrie

Sharon Winter January 9, 2009 at 4:12 PM The repetition works well and reveals your frustration. Great write of a sad situation, but you are getting better every day. Hang in and stay tough. Love, Shar

John Loving Iii January 9, 2009 at 1:14 PM smooth rhythem. and one can't help but wonder; is it realy that way? but we all know it's true. the trick is to never leave. to leave is to lose trust forever, but staying builds security and strenght. i liked it. good work. john h loving iii
