    Lost

    What is life about and why do I go through this?
    I love my wife, but really miss my kids.
    Anticipation I have; My ambition there is none.
    So confident I was, felt there was something that I should have won.
    Now the only thing I do is sit and stare.
    Letting time pass my by, not a need to go anywhere.
    Pennies and dimes to save that's all that I have
    Should have went to college- I'm just a high-school grad.
    It's complicated now being an adult and all-
    Tired of blaming everyone, by  now I should take the fall.
    Movies help me forget because they are not realistic
    I know I can do better for myself
    If only I had listened.
    The world started to crumble a few years ago
    Searching for jobs; doing interviews
    I AM TIRED OF HEARING NO!


    Help me Lord for I know not who I am
    I dream every night of who I want to be
    Once I wake I jump and stand
    Wash my face, look in the mirror
    And still's there's me.

    I really liked this poem. It is very deep and what a lot of us are thinking but can't say...nice

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
