Everything Will Be Okay

Inspired by a review.

I have seen the darkness

Caged inside every man

Locked, tightly for eternity

Only chosen to be let into the light.

 

A bone breaks, a bruise heals

And every broken memory

Starts to fade away, forgotten

In burning ashes floating in the winds.

 

Needles pressed against skin

Causing only minor damage

To the innocence of a child

Forced into the cold darkness.

 

Lies built upon lies

To fill the universe to the edge

Being left to discover the truth

Of what is rightfully certain.

 

Damaged by broken pasts

In a eternity of strangled hope

Echoeing cries howling in the night

Memories I will never forget.

 

Beaten, battered and used

By love, and still I hold my head

Higher each time I fall

From the heavens and the clouds.

 

Broken, I will be

But only for a short time

I am on the side of living life

And I know everything will be okay.

 

As the stars continue to shine

Each night I am breathing and alive

Break me, shame me, do your worst

Eventually I know I will be fine.

Author's Note

Life always bites you and brings out the worst in you. As long as you breathe in air, you are alive. Be thankful for what life has to offer.

Anna Rose, this is just stunning, this is not the first time I have empathized with your writing. I am learning that I do not have to create poems myself to express deep things, that I can absorb the words of my dear poetry friends. You have expressed here the survivors spirit which I am intimate with. If life burnt my world to the ground then I would sprout from the ashes. Thank your for sharing, your words are always so powerful and wise.

Broken, I will be

But only for a short time

I am on the side of living life

And I know everything will be okay Beautifully inspirational.

The first time I read this I was instantly propelled to fit myself within every word. You laid out a format that I could easily slip into and explore.

Wow, Wonderful imagry and Captivating sequences to engulf the reader in the Negitivity that stlaks life. Then Ending I agree with Aaran. You have pleaced a silver lining at the end of this dismal cloud! Great write

[Pratik]

A tale of pain, sorrow and grief... but i like that it ends on such a positive note.. "Eventually I know I will be fine.".. The use of metaphors and imagery is nicely done! Overall an excellent work Anna! :)

[Enigma]

The thought hit home. The last four lines were my favourite and a perfect ending to such a beautiful poem. I loved it!

[Amila Jay]

You are a fighter! We fall we bring ourselves back up, we shed and grow from the ashes! Excellent write:-)

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE ALMOST THROUGH THE BATTLE .. YOUR SPIRIT TAKES WINGS .. AND YOU SOAR TO A PLACE OF PEACE .. YOU ARE COURAGEOUS , YOU SHALL SURVIVE ..

A STRONG WOMAN .... JAZZ

I'm dead serious, this is one of the best pieces of poetry I've ever read. I have NO idea how you came up with each combination of words to forfill the point you're trying to make. Utterly mesmorising

[A Red Red Rose 4 U Luv]

Good positive view on life :)
