Low spirits
Cried myself to sleep last night,
Nothing seems quite right,
There’s a darting pain inside
Is there really a bright side?
Sickness and sorrow never say goodbye
I suffer silently, no one hears my cry
Bereaved, I clasp my hands and pray
Will tomorrow be a better day?
Here I am, running for my life
My hopes, torn apart by an evil knife
Every muscle in my body is sore
What good is this life for?

you should try talking in the third person... its fun :))
"...so llike Chérie told Fosix, Chérie aint the protagonist of this poem... yes, Chérie wrote the poem, but Chérie didnt really experience any of it... Chérie fooled y'all, didnt she..."

Second wind,
Thanks. Haven’t read you in a while . . . when are you publishing next?
Fosix,
Yes, Cherie thinks that’s cute! :p
Cynical, shree? Hmmm . . .
I’ll let you in on my secret . . . When I am out of ideas; I usually think of a rhyming word and then form a sentence with it! That is how I fill my poems and get over writer’s blocks! Thanks TF, hope this next post sounds better. Again, I am not writing about myself ;)
