You've tried to blame the world and me
for all the hurt you've felt
You tried to say it was our fault
for cards that you were dealt
.
How could we be the ones who caused
the pain you hold so dear
What makes you think we are so cruel
to trap you in your fear
.
We've tried so hard to make you smile
to help you to forget
Those times when you have been so blue
and terribly upset
.
Who told you it would just be fun
this life it is no game
Why not just call a spade a spade
not some strange made up name
.
You're not the only one that aches
from deep within your soul
There are so many others that
have never reached their goal
.
So many men have come and gone
without accepting life
And chose to take the hardest way
and filled their lives with strife
.
So when upon each morn you wake
and wonder why you must
Remember all the joy you've skipped
and how you've often fussed
.
This was your choice you can't deny
you've led the life you made
You were the one who ran the tab
and now it must be paid

I can think of a few people right now that should read this poem. It describes them and their attitude to a 'T'.
i do so love your poetry it seems to come from almost another source than they guy that writes the posts... but i know this only to well there has never been anyone to blame...
Did you write this, DS? It is brilliant - not being a lover of poetry, particularly, unless it scans and rhymes, I find this really beautiful. This is the type of poem which is a pleasure to read in an anthology - not those spewed out by the likes of Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion. First class!
I know just what you mean matty.
Thank you paisley, I don't really know where it comes from either...my wife said basically the same thing...it just comes, and when it does I share it.
Yes agnes, I wrote it and thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You write really good poetry, DS. Ever thought about putting a book together & publishing it ?
Can we start a family anthology?
j/k my stuff is actually darker than yours sometimes
a loved one & DS -
I think that would be kwel :)
