R. Pinchen Poet Blank verse

Blank

It is not quite what I wanted,
This life was mine to live freely
So far, chosen something different,
Not sure why I chose the way I did

There have been great moments,
Great ups, along with great downs
Days that I felt sick with contentment,
Days that I lay on the ground

Part of me feels it could be over,
Even though maybe only half way
The light and the joy seem less now,
Less, if not somewhere much closer

Today I am feel quite angry,
Tomorrow I could be sad or not
The next I could be giddy with happy,
Preparing for the long drop

Jan Allison August 25, 2014 at 3:03 PM This is very deep and dark CT. All I know is I live life to the full especially since my husband was diagnosed with cancer - we never know when it will end and it is far far too short we all have good days and bad but I hope the good ones outweigh the bad:-) Hugs Jan x R. Pinchen August 25, 2014 at 3:39 PM Thanks for taking the time to comment on my poem...your concern of my troubles is touching when you have your own and my prayers with you and your husband....To explain, my writing for me can be at times like lancing a boil. Uncomfortable, yet necessary to keep me from infection! Hope this makes sense..C.T.
