Beyond the Rainbows End

Endless torment It dwells inside Strong winds rush like a current And I am done trying to hide My head starts to pour Weight becomes too much "Keep going, please. There is much to live for" But I ignore the plea, I wont listen to such For a broken flute cannot be played And a faulty oven cannot bake A lazy slob cant be paid Staring at everything around me, it's all too fake This inner guilt has built for far too long And the thought is here now too, please flee The time has come to end my pitiful song And I dont know how to continue, you see Then I halt, hoping to lessen my load Why should I continue to twist and bend? I must continue with life and forge my own road Before I earn my own way beyond the rainbows end 03/23/2019 Sponsored by Edward Ibeh

Jeffrey, this poem is a thinking poem. This part made me smile. "For a broken flute cannot be played And a faulty oven cannot bake A lazy slob cant be paid Staring at everything around me, it's all too fake" Welcome to Poetry Soup; it is wonderful to meet a poet who can put feelings on a page in this way.
