This Is What Life Is

Life is a dagger; beautiful and fragile, but will stab you in the back. It will take away the pain and misery, and bring it all back. And then you're standing on the edge, not knowing where to go. Your past lyes below you, and so does your living soul The music rang loud in your ears, a tear rushed down your face. And you heard a gunshot, as the stars danced through the pain. Now your feelings leave your body but your body stays on the ground. You're depressed, stressed Unconfessed. You're a mess, tearing apart on the path that leads you to the end. And you're so close, but too far to get there. Too far to look back at the pain and misery he caused you And the stars, they glistened through the pain. But your body loses control, Flames burning through your soul, only to be shot down by the clouds filling your mind and refueled by the burning fire inside.

Great emotives in this poem Natasha-- a desperate an honest account of a tortured soul. I find peace only in focusing on our Father in heaven. Jesus said-- "In this world you WILL have trouble, but don't worry, I have overcome the world" Satan has already lost his battle!!
