Rick Adriolo Poems

I'm lost in the darkest valleys of my imagination
I scream but nobody is there to hear my cries
I can't see and nobody is there to give me light
I crawl in the dark 'cause I lost my power to rise
...

Some people have children they don't derserve
Why doesn't anyone do anything
We have rights you have to preserve
And after the deed what will just a sorry bring?
...

Are you truly too busy to care for your own
or just too selfish and greedy to provide a good home
Are you so lost in yourself, your own needs you must meet
when you should help and make time for your child with a need
...

Life is a challenge you have to meet
Life is a journey you have to complete
For some.. survival is a fight
For many.. comfort is out of sight
...

When you think to see the light at the end of the tunnel
You run, fall and try to crawl out of the funnel
You realise you start to sway
and the light is a train that is heading your way
...

We live to seize the moments and try not to fall behind
But still we take it step by step and try that our life will not break but only bend
As the moments that are taken deceide our life and how everything will unwind
So we crawl to stay on our feet and fight till the end
...

In the end it's all about the things that mather
All about the moments that are worth remembering
The moments we missed or the moments we had that are worth measuring..
...

Inside we fight our war..
And we can't liv' on for the world is not changing..
So therefor we can't forget..
But someday it will end..
...

If I wielded the power to keep those near, whom I don't want to have anywhere but here..
Memory slips as moments fade as shades disappear when hit by light..
Pictures cripple as waters ripple as the sun disappears when pushed by night..
If I had the right words to hold everything together,
...

My brother who once had it all,
is torn apart in ways that are just so sad
Part of him is a loose cannon ball,
the other part is the best brother I ever had
...
