Life Poems | Poems About Life's Journey, Struggle, and Fun

Walking through this life with love in limbo Fighting against the odds, arms akimbo Too late to tear down the walls that they've built With a cat-o-nine tails they flogged me with guilt They swindled, revoked, my humanity They kindled, then stoked, my insanity Purely for sport and for love of the kill With orders to READY,...

Today I gave myself permission To do all the things I have always wanted To run through the halls To scream as loud as I could To shake up my soda and let it explode To run as fast as I could To jump in the fountain and splash the water To run naked as a Jay bird through...
