Divine Discontent

There is no peace in a war zone The battlefield's become my home Casualty is mind and body Assaulted by my worst enemy Maybe tonight it'll let me sleep I can't decide I don't know why It's hard letting go of superficial things Put off by yesterday's reason to be happy Nothing ever seems to change Elusive serenity She doesn't want to visit me Been so long And I miss her Can't do this alone But I've always been told No one is worth trusting Here I am Fork in the road I stand All signs read HOV lanes only So I guess I'll wait When joined by another Closer than a sister or mother That never goes away Til then I have to sit and spin This bizarre web I'm weaving And hope for better days

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. No one had seen or heard my poems until I joined this website, so I never knew if they were any good. I actually wrote this one a long time ago..but I still feel it occasionally. Same to you, I definitely spend a lot of time reading here.. Scarlett
