Cope

Your sitting all alone waiting for your heart to  
break.
Through trials and tribulations one seeks the power of
the most high cause one doesn't know how much more
one can take.
Alone in a dark hole, 
disclosing all of your unforgetable woes.
Asking the question, Is this the life i chose? who knows.
For as the the outline of water, falls down off your
face, 
You feel the core of empty space that hit's you hard and
raw in that loving place.
Pain, 
Strain, 
and no emotional gain play's at it's own 
symbolic beat
Pressures of hidden treasures measures the timeline
in victory of it's own defeat
Turning pages of different rages only compounds into
disfunctional stages.
Seeing the shadows off reflection in the mirror looking
for hope, 
Not wanting to see the true face, 
When your trying to cope.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts on coping through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
