Taking You Back
Once, twice, three times I took you back
Common sense, it seemed, was what I lacked
Saying your sorry, time after time
My stupidity, should be called a crime
Each Of these incidents, was my fault
Even when you, were the one getting caught
Looking back, each of your mistakes
Equaled another, individual heartbreak
Threw out your clothes and your shoes
Figured I'd paid, more than my dues
But, if happiness, can't seem to be had
How much do I need, to be constantly sad
You don't know, what it is you need
But on my sympathy, you'll no longer feed

Feathers
Hope might be the thing with feathers*
But of virtue it's not the only thing-
Strength would have eagle's claws,
Love would possess angle's wings-
Respect, a humble and bowed head
Courage, a heart made of steel
Truth, a clear and golden eye
Sympathy, hands to heal
Beauty, a sea-green peakcock's tail
Liberation with her torch held high**
Joy always has the fairest face
Faith with Constance rule the sky...
*Read Emily Dickinson's 'Hope is the Thing With Feathers'
**Based on the Statue of Liberty in New York, U.S.A.

Despair
I sometimes wonder why I was made
Though I was a child, friend, or even a dear person to someone
I sometimes feel out of place, misfit
Never understood or only appreciated when convenient
Always giving, very little receiving
Always sharing, very little been shared in return
Why? Is my despairing cry
Why do I feel as though only God is by my side
I feel and they know, but think little of it
Apologies, regrets, sympathy, you name it, they give it
But it never ends
It seems to be the beginning of the end of mankinds nature, of self

LAST PAIN
How much more pain can this fragile soul bear?
Hostility-Repugnance---Antipathy--
Every time, everywhere rejection, despair, depression and my chains of pain lingering always
Forced with drawls, misunderstandings, dejection
No love, concern, sympathy
Formal kindness, helping, hospitality
Life runs into a cold death and wasteland----
Lifeless, warmth less, frozen still slumber.
