There Are Times

Even when you get everything you ever wanted,
There are still times
When that hole in your heart gapes wide
And dulls the lines

Between survival and resignation
Leaving you gasping for air
And wondering...
What's life lived for anyway?

If you want to know what life is lived for, I'll come over and tell you. Anytime! :) Sorry things are hard sometimes!

Aubrey - In my opinion, this is great free-verse poetry . . . It tells a great truth using very few words.

Anyone who's really been there instantly understands the depth of meaning conveyed by those few lines.

You should write more. You obviously have much to say that's worth hearing.

Keep in mind though that not everyone will want to hear what you have to say. Some will resent it. But you'll be denying your gift from God if you let their opinions stop you from using your gift.

At least that's been my experience.
