Sweet Jane 61 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 This can be about anything that you have demons with, I wrote this for a friend who was fighting to take a drink after being sober for years. The Battle The darkness of night haunts you, your soul struggles in turmoil Searching for answers from within, praying nightfall will not win. Alive again is pain in your heart, feelings of despair all around... sensing tempting demons are back, your faith they can't attack. A fight you are ready to face, knowing loves power is there... not fearing the long road, even when hurt becomes a heavy load. Taking that first step to heal, spirits of loved ones abound... A hand you reach for is there, at roads end; kindred souls care. And no he didn't take that drink, after many long talks and tears, I and other loved ones,held his hand through it all and he made it down that long road...sober.

Rayzor Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I'm glad to hear that your friend stayed sober and I am positive that the support of family and friends helped alot. The writing can be interpreted to be used in just about any situation where someone is confronted with adversity. I like the darkness at the start, gives the feeling of being alone and helpless. Then the love, power and faith come around with the hand of a loved one. Awesome! I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Thanks Ray, I did write it for him but it could be about anything that a person may be fighting against. I do believe that love, family, and friends can always help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I really love your poems, because I can relate to them. You don't really write about flowers and birds from what I have read so far, but more of the nitty gritty side of life, the side that matters. Well done on another excellent poem.

Well done on another excellent poem. floyd, thanks for you comments. And I guess I write more in that theme because that is what makes my thoughts go round and round for the most part. I have wrote a few poems about my daughter and my family that are very upbeat, but I tend to lean towards the things in life that really turn your world upside down. I try not to make my poems depressing, but express the emotions that you go through during hearbreak, love, death, loss, anything that effects your soul.

Floydaholic Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 They're the sort of poems that I like. I havn't written a poem in months. I usually end up hating my poems. But I'll try write something anyway. They just always seem to turn out really cheesy though. I don't know how to make them not cheesy. The same goes for me and songs; I can write music no problem, but I simply can't write lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 You'll have to send me the music and I'll put lyrics to it. I've done it many times before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydaholic Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 You'll have to send me the music and I'll put lyrics to it. I've done it many times before I think that I'll just keep my music to instrumentals for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I can write lyrics for instrumentals too! Those are the easiest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
