Finishing Line

FINISHING LINE
 
It’s only temporary they say!
It’s not the solution it’s a contribution
You steal from people you love!
You steal precious time  
You self destruct, they scream
You  around! You whore!
You have nothing!
You are nothing!
Your life is a mess
Be strong be great
Can’t you be like this or that one!
It’s the road you chose!
You went out looking for it!
You wanted it!
You weak
You sad
You pathetic
 
Yes! I am all this and I don’t care anymore
My life was stolen
I am just trying to get to the finishing line!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts 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." Have a blessed day.
