for William Kekaula's Alphabet Soup Poetry Contest
he took away my joy
my joy of giving
as i give all i have and know would help,
but is unappreciated, not what's wanted
when needed
he taunts me with the joy of helping,
then smacks me with his left hand
for thinking my gifts are worth giving
the weight of the world has me with a heavy heart
he makes me fall to sickness
when I'm needed
knowing I'm being used
just to be slapped down later
i so tired
from the many copings
i must battle
unable to function
i fall short
from the industrious
wife i use to be
uselessness is my disgrace
in life
unable to pull myself up
from the cliff i fallen
into the dungeon
of self worthlessness
i cant even help myself
much less help some one else
at this point
i try to get up and enjoy life
but it is a heavy load
heavy as an elephant on my back
as a anchor holding
me down in the deep waters of life
my pain is creeping in me fast
lingering in my arms
my fingers as a dull ache
pulsating my gums
depression is engulfing me
unable to rise above it
without the help of some that loves me
or someone that wants to but can't
is bring me to another low point
in my miserable lonely life
i have nothing to do
thats makes me happy
and benefits others as well
what i want i can't have
happiness
a feeling of worthiness
i see now that it's unattainable
in my world of unrealistic expectations
As I go through life
Believing in my ability it
Causes me to strive harder to
Deliver the best I would
Ever expect of myself.
Fearing failure I
Gauge my value on
Happiness achieved and
Insist on not
Judging myself too harshly while
Keeping my eye on the prize.
Listening to
My conscience as it guides me
Nearer to the
Open
Places I
Quietly encounter while
Reading or writing a
Story
That takes me
Under the rainbow
Very far from
Where I was and not seeing the
X that marked the spot when
You
Zapped me with the gift.
She zapped.
Grabbed her bag and hit the map.
Flying on the highway.
Clearing my mind that just blinded me.
Slapped my heart on the passenger seat.
Watched it as it pumped it’s last beat.
Picked it up, Squeeze hugged it tight.
Told my heart, We gonna be alright
Looked at it, I then Stuffed it back in.
Now, is the time we win.
You get one true love in your lifetime.
That kind of love you want to keep running through your veins like a lifeline
Together, forever and a lifetime
So you do what ever is necessary to make every day like your first date and fix all your mistakes like its your last time.
If you want to keep this love together for years with endless nighttime’s.
You’ll do all you can to make Every time the right time.
