Survive to Live, Live to Survive
by Kat Voletto (Age: 23)
copyright 09-03-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I was reading some of Debra Rose's works and felt inspired. That, and it's been a long time since I wrote anything and the spirit is willing. Anyway...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sun is rising
The pain is blinding
Somehow I survived another night
The blood is flowing
My tears are glowing

Is this the end?

Oh no, the sun is setting again
Another full moon rising over the bend
My dreams are dead and done
My heart is stopping
The pills are popping

Is this the end?

I did all I was told to
I made something of myself back then
I just couldn't go the whole distance
I tried to be a fresh face
But I quickly fell from grace

I hope this is the end.

I'm closing my eyes one more time
It looks like my dream is about to die

In the end, nothing matters...
Except that you did it right.

No matter what you do
You can't take it with you
And life is the only thing you can't survive.

I loved it Kat. It makes me remember some tough times I was going through before I met my husband. I was sure I wanted to die. I was on some drugs back then too. I thought it would be my escape but I soon realized it was killing me and I got scared that I wouldn't be able to fix it if I didn't straighten out. I truely didn't want to die. I have been given a second chance and I am grateful. Thank You for this piece it was nice to read

I'm with the mainstream on this one.
Don't switch horses in midstream. I would prefer you stick with I.

A tad more rhythm would be nice, but that's "nits".

Sorry, I just read James' comments again and I misunderstood what he said. But my opinion remains the same, stick with, "I," as your subject matter.
09-05-2005 Roger Crique    

I must agree with James, you started out writing about yourself, then at the end, your focus switched from you, the person, to us the readers. I think you should continue to make yourself the subject of your poem. I know what the intention was (I think), to advise the reader, but I think the advise is understood whether you switch subjects or not. There is good imagery in this poem and it flows rather nicely. The theme is a familiar one, everything stays here! We cannot take anything with us, once we depart....

Interesting and ironic last line! It will stick with me for a while. I'll meditate on it.
