The Questioning Life

The chapter in my life remains in questions,
 Am I going to make my it at the end of the line?
 The cold, dark hole is where I stand,
 Will I make it out in time with no one's hand?
 My feet taken me lower,
 Into the darkness and it's hard to breathe,
 Others tend to look the other way,
 All I can do is stand still,
 Filled with silent cries,
 I will remain here for a while,
 Still with patience and with faith,
 My fire is still burning,
 And it won't go out,
 Until I choose when it's over.
 That's what I'm all about.
 People's questions still yet to come,
 You will see when I am done.
Will I master this test ?

This is also a great poem by you, Ashley. It's refreshing to see another rhymer in the fold. Most of my work is rhyme so I love it when I meet a fellow Rhymster lol. Enjoyed this work; kudos to you, hon ;)

I would like to learn how to write others, but mostly I like to play with words. Thank you!
