Why?

Why?

A Poem by The High Poet
"

Just a little something that came out today.... must be one of those creative days. :)

"

Why?


I lived my life like I could never die

Always knowing it was a lie

On Deaths door step too many times

How did I make it?  Must have been the rhymes

Too many times I was so close to death

Convulsing on the ground gasping for breath

But I did make it and left the drugs behind

I have changed my life and become refined

****

Looking back on the people I hurt

Good friends died buried in the dirt 

So why did I live and they died

It makes me so sad I start to slide

****

Lets hope I don't slid too far

End up on drugs at another bar

I will not let my addiction win

Just push it down with my grin

Life really is just one big question and i don't think anyone will ever know the answers. I believe that the ones left here who have had sad put upon their lives are the ones who need to have these downward spiralling affects as if chosen for the job because of our strength's. Don't live in if only's and why's but learn from your demons to gain strength to help others in their time of need. Lovely understanding of what your trying to say.
