Weep

Sorrow is the word of the walk around
The more you tread, it heaps abound. 
You curve your lips to mend the world
And everyone around is a story unfurled.
You listen, rapt with attention
For you have to know the flow to dam the river.
You find a way to reach subjugation
Weild the soothing hand to their tremor.
Every whisper, every sob, every desperate shout; 
You condone every cry.
Futile it may seem, you're full of doubt,
But never do you cease to try.
And then comes the point festered.
You want to be the sheep
Tired of tending akin a shepherd
Just sit down alone and weep.

Mayur,,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 <-@

Your poem is so emotional. It has some lovely lines. I was personally moved by "Wield the soothing hand to their tremor." You have handled this subject with great sensitivity. Obviously, you have felt this way yourself. Hopefully, you are not shouldering "the point festered" by yourself. A truly sad piece. Welcome to soup. We hope you share more of your poetry with us.
