I Am Still, But You Go On

I cannot go on this way much longer Lift me up and make me stronger I am still, but you go on So many things to swallow Do not just come from a prescription bottle I am still, but you go on You portray as if there is nothing wrong While I lay and sing sad songs I am still, but you go on I am lying in all this waste You study, study, cut and paste I am still, but you go on The gym is where you always go I cannot get up, I am too low I am still, but you go on Help me now before it is too late I am unsure of my own fate I am still, but you go on Problems, problems there are so many My shoulders are weak, cannot handle any I am still, but you go on I look to you for some resolve But nothing seems to dissolve I am still, but you go on A future with no plans You do not see the issues at hand I am still, but you go on This stage we are in is serious Cannot you see it is making me delirious I am still, but you go on Contradictions are many I’m tired of hearing any ~ Holly is still, but you go on. ©Holly P.

A touching poem Holly, deep emotions. It's easy to say that life goes on ..... but now is the time for grief .... and this time is also important. - Thinking a lot of you Holly. - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

WHoa Holly, this is very well written! The thoughts tumble into each other very well and the refrain highlights the theme clearly. Well done!
