Karen Campbell Poet Rhyme

Something Beautiful

I need something beautiful
To cancel out this stress
I need to fill a void too big
I’ve become such a mess

Everything I do I can feel
The empty cold blistering loss
Was where I put my energy
Really worth what it cost

My dreams are dissolving
Before my very feet
All I can do is watch
And take the ultimate defeat

Please I need something beautiful
To help to calm me down
Anxiety pours from my veins
I am so misfortune bound

No I do not need pity
For I shall always fight
But so many losses
Makes you start to wonder what’s right

Shivers creep down my spine
From horrors I’ve endured
Some things you can never get over
And some can never be cured

Please please I need something beautiful
To show me there is still hope
Is this life worth living
Will I ever be able to cope

I can look no further
For it is time for me to see
Something much more beautiful
Than this life could ever be.

Poet Destroyer A August 6, 2016 at 3:55 PM Lovely thoughts, Karen 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 <-@
