Life Poems

Don’t Give Up

It’s half past midnight tossing and turning unable to sleep, I don’t know what to do;
My mind is far away in search of something that I once had and somehow slipped out my hand;
Struggling to understand this tug of war between the mind and heart I try to search for a solution so as to agree on a compromise;
Trying to pay attention to what’s happening around me, I try to decipher the clues and hints that I believe are there for my picking;
Like a fish out of water, Out of innocence into adulthood Too soon into this fast paced game where I am just a spectator, lost and bewildered;
So, what happened? Where did I all go wrong? What am I supposed to do? What is it that I have to do?
Plenty of questions and answers all out there, is what I am told, yet I am totally lost;
Going round and round in a place where the streets have no name, I bobble in and out of life;
As the storm rages on unabated, the leaves blow and the trees sway, all I know is that I am here to stay, till the day my heart gives up on me;
