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. 7/19/16

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 <-@
