Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

I Woke Up

I went to bed, wished I was dead.
But as usual woke up instead.
So here I am to carry on.
Having to face another dawn.

I know some of you have contempt.
For me when fate is what I tempt.
And then there's some who understand.
That this is not what we had planned.

The world don't spin the same for some.
Some never question, some say how come.
A self induced sense of disdain.
A false truth of endless pain.

Why would someone behave this way.
When no one believes what you say.
They look at you with hopelessness.
As you continue to regress.

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2018 at 7:51 PM I should say, I hope you learn the way to deal with what the universe has put on your pathway being who you are in this small space of time that is your life right now.

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2018 at 7:49 PM Robert. I know someone who believes in reincarnation and that each time we die, we are going to the next sign of the zodiac to learn the lessons of that one. In other words, trying to progress to a higher level until finally we just "get it"Though I am not sure if I believe all that, I DO believe in astrology and that some people are just born under a bad moon (if you get my meaning) Yes, we can try our best with what we have but for some it's very difficult. I hope you find your way! Robert Johnson January 20, 2018 at 8:08 PM Thank you Andrea for truly caring. What you've said helps me to know that what will be is what will be. K sira, sira. I know that's not the proper spelling but isn't it fun to just not care sometimes. :) Thanks again.
