I Don'T Know When, I Don'T Know How

I don’t know when
I don’t know how
I’ve been forced to take a meaningless vow

I’ve said it once
I’ve said it twice
Now I’m sitting here rolling the dice

When will it end?
When will it stop?
Am I the last raindrop?

Hold me now
Till the fear is leaving
I don’t know how I’m breathing

I need you there to catch me
I’m breaking
I’m aching

I don’t know when
I don’t know how
Is it ending now?

Can I walk outside
And know that I’ll be okay?
Or will the skies still be grey?

Hello, thank you for the welcome. I write poetry when I need reflief from something or I need to tell others abouth things that refuse to emerge in anyway other than my writing. I am a VERY young writer and others (my friends) often think that I have an old soul. I will be sure to check out your work as well.

Tatianna,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thank you for the welcome. I have read some of your poems already and I really like them. I will check the contests for sure and definately check out more of yours. When I write poetry, I tend to write about how I feel in the moment.

The skies are sometimes grey to bring out those beautiful lines from your thoughts ...

... and with those lines from your thoughts sometimes comes a beautiful remedy as to why your skies are grey.
