Letting Go by Seizure

I know what must be done, I know I must let go
If I'm to be free, from life long ago
Everything is hard, everything I do
But with the hope, I can live anew
I just kept striving, working at my life
Everything from drinking, to cutting with my knife
It's all failing, my time's soon to come
My god see me now, look what I've become

Neil killed himself, he was my best friend
But I must let go, or I'll meet his end
How can I do that? For him I would have died
He was far away, so I never tried
I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling
I wished I had died, and lost all my feeling
I've got to block it now, it is just too hard
I'm tired of being, emotionally scarred

They say the worst pain, one could ever face
Is to lose a child, that they can't replace
What about a family? Knowing they don't care?
You think you've had the worst, you could ever bear?
How about loving, them with all your heart
Only to have them, say you must depart
And live on your own, and never return
You can't live the streets? Well you better learn

I want to live life, I want to be glad
I want to enjoy, the things I never had
It's too late for that, just childish dreams
Keep me here today, or at least it seems
I can't leave this hell, I tried all I could
I tried to get help, they misunderstood
I miss happiness, I miss being free
But it is hard when, the world's afraid of me

Very Interesting
That's one very explanitory poem, you have there. I find it to be like a situation I had once, and I feel for anyone who goes through that. Keep up the awesome work, and I hope to see more! :)

My God see me now...,?
Caution Seiz,

The words you use within in this phrase, I know is only text, yet I warn you, be carefull of the word/s you use, the word God, is not a toy, use it often and your soul will find, it has a smiling face.

I beleive in God, for there is nothing else, to believe in, there must be a God, there must!

You will notice I said MY god... I didn't say God in reference to Christian beliefs. I don't believe the same way you do, that will likely never change.

Well, I have a little time online and wanted to come read a poem or wo of urs that u said u submitted. Wish it were a little bit of a happier one! I know i haven't had the worst life one could have but i havent had the best either. Let go, in a way, of bad memories as best as you can. Not of life, or hope for happiness. Your a great person, even after all the weird stuff we've talked about i still think ur ok! lol. Altho....i'm not sure if that really says too much, it's me. :D

Great writing.......as is everything u write in my opinion. Your honesty in ur writin isn't something that some other poets would let read. Thankyou for sharing ur feelings and experiences with me and our fellow dreamers.

Well, i'll stop now cuz i'm in a mood where i have a bunch to say and i could go on for forever and ever and ever.......er...yea....
Luv ya Seiz! ...smile for muah!!!

Yeah!
I'm always so happy to check the new poems of the week and see one written by you seiz as always it was great and well worth the wait.

Luc, LinzAy, Ash
I thought you might be able to associate a little with this one Luc. I'm glad you had the chance to glance at it.

LinzAy, you write too much and I have no idea how to pronounce, "muah!" I'm kidding, you know I appreciate your comment here. But I also know you could go on for ever and ever... trust me.

Ash, I'll be sure to toss some a little more frequently then. Now that I know people are actually waiting for me to add something... I'll definately do it a little more often.
