"strings of Wrong"

There's a fire deep within,, There's a soul that noone's seen
It's still willing to win, With you, it should've been
Though the burning heart's desire, extinguished from a fire
into a single flae, its beauty once admired
though steered off from its path, colision destination
but with hope its sure to pass, away from mutilation
and this wind blows empty air, parallel to lifeless breathing
then now know they should care, that life is worth the living
such empty words upon, a person's broken ear,
impossible to have done the deed to make death hear
and the path that you were on once again reappears
But something catches your eye, beyond that tall grass
you hack it all down, and find out another path
one that noone tells you, one not taught in class
like falling off a stairway, not knowing what to do
when fear has blocked your airway, there is noone to turn to
you missed a step, and lost your chance,
you screwed yourself and burned your pants
foolish you, thinking life as an equation,
trying to solve a lifelong revelation
the truth was here and all around,
but you got in, six feet underground
now live your life and make it last
think of now because you've left the past.

Hi Dominic.There is something about your poetry that is quite incredible and compelling to read.True as you say now is what matters.We have to let go of the past and move on.And no-one can live our lives for us.We have to make or own decisions and hopefully learn from our mistakes.Loved these quite deep, insightful words. Luv June(sylvia)
