Life

Life this ongoing cycle
I do not even remember why I'm here
Why was the hand of God placed upon me as  a child

Voices within me screaming 
Screaming out my name
Trying to destroy me 
Every single day

Life seems like such a game
A game where we choose 
Which voice to listen to 

Should I listen to the screams
Or should I listen to the whispering voice

Please no more plagues 
No more hurt
No more pain

Someday I may give up
On this game of Life
Lifeless I will then be

Maybe then I'll finally find a calm
From the storm that life brought
Maybe now I'll finally be warm
Instead of cold in the dept of life

Life,Life
What should I choose
This is my last words
Game Over

With faith and trust in God there is always hope. Tough times don't last. The game is never over unless one gives up. My thoughts and prayers go with you. Welcome to Poetry Soup! I hope you enjoy your time spent with us. Keep on writing--it has helped me through some rough spots. Take care. Karen
