 Through The Eyes Of A Poet...

Sometimes I Wonder?




Sometime I wonder about life?
And wonder what its about?
We all are led to believe in things,
That sometimes cause us doubt!
We go through life on a roller coaster,
We're up and down all the time,
But no matter what fate befalls us,
It doesn't do any good to whine.

Sometimes I wonder about life?
And the reasons why we are here?
But who am I to question...?
Why there's killing, hate and fear!
We wake up every morning,
To face another day,
We use the strength that we all have,
To deal with what comes our way.

Sometimes I wonder about life?
And the meaning to all that occurs?
Sometimes its an all uphill struggle,
Like climbing a million stairs...
But when we get to the top,
And survey all that we see,
It makes us realise what we've got,
We've a life to live, you and me!

Sometimes I wonder why...?
People give up on life,
Can't cope and can't deal,
With things that cause us strife.
There are many degrees of pain,
And for some it's too much to bear,
It weighs them down quite heavily,
And they're too depressed to even care!

People have been hurt in the past,
To a level of total shame,
Tortured, beaten, and abused,
By people who think it's a game!
Living with pain in our lives,
Is sometimes too much to wade through,
We can't deal, can't cope,
And we don't know what to do?

But living in the past is harmful,
So much so, we cause more grief,
We get lost inside our broken heart,
Our happiness taken, like a thief!
Some can't move ahead,
And some can't abandon their shame,
Thinking it's all their fault,
While the abusers think its a game!

I wonder what goes through the minds?
Of people so evil and bad?
Were they beaten and broken like others?
Did they lead a life so sad?
Learnt behaviour, that's what it's called,
Drummed into us over a gain,
We grow with it feeling its normal,
But it's not, and it's not 'our' shame!

We have to deal with the past,
To allow us to move ahead,
We can't let it destroy us,
For we are a long time dead!
I've seen pain and torment,
I've seen people almost destroyed,
Caused by people so wicked,
Every time their abusers were annoyed!

I have a friend so hurt,
So deep rooted is her pain,
She can't deal with the hurt,
She can't deal with her shame!
The past's a bitter pill to swallow,
This can never be denied,
Many times throughout my life,
I've seen things and cried!

But we all have our way of dealing...
With the torment in our heart,
Some I admit, cant let go,
Some can't even begin to start.
To you I say this now,
If you don't move ahead,
Deal with the pain, deal with the shame,
Your heart's forever going to be dead!

I say this very often,
For truer words I've never said,
You can't look over your shoulder,
You can't always live in dread!
Looking back is harmful,
If you've had hurt in your life,
Because every time that we regress,
It causes more harm and more strife!

No matter how wicked and sad,
No matter how bad the past,
We have to move onward and forward,
And bury our ghosts at last!
When we finally close the door,
And leave the past behind,
The feeling you get of relief,
Is the best feeling you can find!
Pull up your shoulders,
Lift your head high,
You can move forward,
You just have to try!

Leave behind your hurt,
Leave behind your pain,
Leave behind all thats bad,
Leave it behind, see what you gain!
