Fallin Down

Fallin Down

Can’t afford …….
to be unhappy
Just coz this world 
Ain’t what it seems
I’ll hang on
Hope not gone
Clingin ……. 
onto- my- dreams

I’m a little …… 
bit tired
Fallin down … 
fallin down
Trying ……… 
not - to - stop
It’s a long climb
Do I have the time?
To ………….. 
reach- the- top

Can’t afford ….. 
to get weary
Or to give up
I’m well passed halfway
Gone is the fear
Now I am near
I ………
will - have - my - day

I’m a little …..
bit tired
Fallin down ….
fallin down
Trying ……… 
not - to - stop
Where I am going
I am not knowing
But I’ll get………. 
to- the- top

Can’t afford …. 
to get broken
By life
And all of its trials
I’ll meet them all
I will stand tall
Greet …….. them …….
with smiles

I’m a little ………
bit tired
Fallin down……..
fallin down
Trying ………..
not - to - stop
Yes I can take it
I know I’ll make it
Right …………
to - the - top

Can’t afford ………
to be unhappy
Just coz this world
Ain’t - what - it - seems

Ha ha I enjoyed my month off. But, this place fell in one month, over 50 of my good poet friends are not even active. .. What happened, nothing is the same? I can't imagine what happen to all the action. I also noticed everyone has less traffic. WHY?? Do you know something I don't. ... LOL. Do I need to come back and spice things up?? Thanks for stopping by... Linda ever so sweet

on second thought:) I'll stop by with a real comment..... It's nice to see you are not willing to trip and step into that loop that brings one down. I would tell you to take a nap to get some rest, but then I'm just being silly again. I know this world ain't what it seems. All we got is hope and dreams... YES AND POETRY.... let's make the best out of that... love this one... Have your self a nice day my friend... XOX~ LINDA

Rick, I get a lift every time I come to your page, I know where you are my friend. Many thanks for your lifting comment

this is great, Richard, and you wrote it in a way that is so symbolic of life. Even though you are going upward, words go down. And the older we get , the more falling down we experience! Ain' t what it seems was a great line to end on, and it's at the very bottom!
