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?

This is a lovely first write Tatiana. Remember no matter what the sky says, the Sun is always shining. Sometimes we just can't see it. Going to get my coffee and then read some more. God Bless. D.

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.
