I Need A Life Line Poem by Lyn Paul

I Need A Life Line

Rating: 4.8


I need a Life Line
The Heart is worn
The Boss is angry
Little makes her smile

The ex is living it up
Another holiday
I am poor
Right down
To my bones

I need a Life Line
Have lost too much
Watching He
Spend My Money

The heart is warn
The mind is drawn
And I feel
Those curtains closing

I know
Just what I want
What I need to survive

Will I make the right decision
That will keep me alive

I haven't been alive
But still
Cherish every moment
I know its time for me
For me
For survival

I now need to live
If death
Doesn't catch me first
Right decision
Wrong decision

Not ready for that Hearse!

Tears and hugs and prayers for you eternally. I know that need well. I am here. If you let me I will hold on to you and never let you go. Life can be so overwhelming. If we can but hold on it will get better. All things are cycles. Always.

A sad tale, Lyn. Regretfully too many today have a similar story to tell. Selfishness, greed, inconsideration is what so many have bought into over the past three decades. Keep your chin up, Lyn, and soldier on.

I think you have a lot to offer and you know sometimes it's darkest before daylight things will get better.

Live one must, I feel the intense pain and the need for a new lease on life, the need for survival. I absolutely love when a poet brings me into the belly of the poem where I can stand slightly back and observe exactly what is going on. You did that as I'm sitting here feeling sad wanting a chance to uplift that individual.....

A nice penning with full of dreams and hope to live further with peace and happiness and not ready to digest any burn..... Human lives on hopes only.

Often it is so late to realize that we have been duped in life. But once we realize it, we have to find out our own means of survival...... We cannot tire life by pining for what is lost! May you soon come to the right decisions! Believe there is light at the end of the tunnel and keep moving! A poignant write!
