Sidewalk of Life :: Murles29 :: Original Poetry

Sidewalk of Life

I’m walking along this sidewalk of life,

On one side is hate and depression,

And the other is Love and Happiness.

I don’t care I stay in the middle

But no matter how hard I try to get away,

I am consumed by the hate, the suffering, the misery.

I am trapped like a cornered animal,

I fight back,

I am so easily overwhelmed by raw emotions,

I am so easily consumed.

I am curled in a ball,

Trying to keep the horrors of living at bay,

That’s when she found me, That’s when I took her offered hand,

to the road of happiness.

Soon though,

The hate came back

This time no one could help.

I almost jumped off that building,

Just to escape feeling anymore hate,

But I hesitated,

Behind me was my savior.

And so far the hate hasn’t come back,

And I Hope it never will.
