Fearlessly

Fearlessly

A Poem by mattavelli
"

.!.

"
Come on, my friend, embrace life's pain,
the heartbreaks, and your death to come.
Don't drench yourself in worry's rain
and drag through soggy days, so glum.
Go slam your dreams upon that drum
that rages in your chest so sure
as breaths you seize approach their sum
and fearless thoughts are all that's pure.

There's comfort in the wallowing
and moaning when life's oh so tough,
but poison's all you're swallowing
and tainted confidences bluff.
Don't fantasize that hope's enough.
Break free. The action is the cure.
Be willful and grind smooth those rough
and fearful thoughts. And, bleed them pure.

The world's a blaze and you a spark,
a flame, soon smoke and blown out ash;
so burn on 'til your skies are dark
and strangle time 'til moments flash.
And, on that final breeze, you thrash,
through whipping winds you won't endure,
let all the gods proclaim you brash
and fearless and a life so pure
.

This is a wonderfully powerful read, and again, it seems that "you saved the best for last". --- "And, on that final breeze, you thrash,
through whipping winds you won't endure,
let all the gods proclaim you brash
and fearless and a life so pure." --- Well done.

Fear can be paralyzing. Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and jump in with both feet. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained'. Well written. Good imagery. Title sums up nicely.

Thanks, Pete! :)
It is interesting how you embrace the reader while in the same breath compelling the reader to embrace pain in the first word flurry. This is definitely fearlessness standing on the edge of wreckless. I love it!

Thanks, G! :)
we do need to be brash and fearless in life...some thrive on the pain and drama...and always having that "woe is me" attitude...but if we face the bad and wade through it...beat it down and keep our spark, our zest for living...life will be a much happier place for us...a smile can outweigh any heaviness....

such positives here.

Thank you, Brandon! :)
Really great message indeed matty.
I thought this was a very inspiring and strong poem.
I think there is to many tough times in life, and allot of the time people want to just give up, this is a good poem to read when people feel this way. To get anywhere in life you have to try hard you have to fight to get what you want.
Your rhyme scheme was brilliant as well.
I loved this poem, very well done :)

Hi, man I love rhyme and really admire anyone that can pull it off.
As for your poem it speaks volumes as I've been in a funk lately...I'm working on it though ; ) cheers Starz.

I always get a little pang of regret when I read a poem I wished I'd written. The positive voice you delicately spill into the glass of inspiration clearly displays the talent that sparkles from your crafted words.

I'm impressed and envious of your skill.

A call to arms, so to speak. Your trumpet's loud and strong. You gotta tear muscle to build it and you made rhyme too :) Great message here, dear poet. Nice job!
