Doing things right
By laya08
07 June 2006
As my time spent
as my dreams die,
I fall to the floor
still with no cry

But being brave is not what matters
Being strong doesnt even apply
I wonder if life will go on
If my breath just says goodbye

In moments I ask myself
what did I do wrong
what did I do right
Can my problem be solved
or is life a black light

Therefore, I prayed to my god
I asked for forgiveness
I begged on my knees 
asked for life to freeze

Can I start over
Can I relive my life
I didnt mean for this to happen
I am sorry, I didnt realize
I just turned
Just covered my eyes

So in the end I know Im punished
Punished with life
I truly am sorry
I cannot seem to do things right.

Oh how I have experienced feelings like these... 
 
You've captured a sense of despondency that, we, as humans have so well. A feeling that 'life is a punishment'.  
 
A difficult read, but beautifully written. 
 
well done

Such an emotive hard write. You can feel the pain of being a victim blaming self and losing confidence of man and direction of life. ....Soul searching, a touching write - well done a purposeful write to others to reach out and let them know it's okay to feel like so, that they are not alone.
