Ray Southworth Poems

Ray Southworth Biography

My poems are created without a conscious thought. Words come to me and pour into my fingers as I write them. Those close to me know that I create from within me and true. They also know that I only publish them because if they stayed on paper then they still only exist in my mind. I do not post in hopes for or have a need for comments either good or bad. It's a release for me that allows me some peace within myself knowing that these words are out there, somewhere to be read.)

The Best Poem Of Ray Southworth

Mistakes I'Ve Made

Thoughts of the past haunt my mind,
Reminds me of my failures during my time,
I tried my best to no avail,
Life was lost and I have failed.

Wishing to go back in time,
And make myself right in my mind,
To show the love my children so desired,
But my mind and body so tired.

My failures as a Father and a Man,
Doomed me to a life I cannot stand,
The daily thoughts and torture is the only way,
To punish myself for the mistakes I’ve made.

I sit alone and deep in thought,
Remembering what I lost.
I keep my sorrow and anger deep within,
And prevent myself from starting again.

Tomorrow is another day,
Of hopes and dreams to be made,
But to me it’s just another day,
To remind me of the mistakes I’ve made.
