Step Up

I gotta get my head straight I know whats waiting Ive been there Ì`ve stood at hell`s gate Instead of destroying I`ve decided I`ll try to create taking the steps to start fresh Let`s call it a clean slate I see there can be more to life than being a decomposing pile of flesh riddled with hate and strife Yes my world may be a mess but I have a choice of my path I need not distress like a phoenix i can rise from the ash or I can take the easy way out and embrace death`s alluring caress With those around me I need to be honest and open not leaving what needs to be said lost in the ether unspoken

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

"I can take the easy way out and embrace death`s alluring caress" I thought this was a very neat euphemism for suicide. Well-penned Chris and welcome to poetrysoup!
