Lost

Inspired by: "Invictus" by: William Ernest Henley I am lost in my own despair, My pain coursing through my veins I thank my hope, for it is For my unconquerable soul I fall to the simple circumstance I feel wet drops upon my cheek Alone, I am weak, I must remain strong I will hold my head high Judging eyes sadden my soul My eyes burn, I mustn't look away I fight to stay true to my promise I shy away, alone, I truly am weak I seek a time of glorious light, When darkness seems to fade The past will always haunt me I shall remain unafraid

I am lost in my own despair- that is the start of good poetry, the depth of that emotion empowers us to seek more. Staying strong, breaking through the weakness, well said.

Elizabeth, 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 <-@
