Just For Now, I Promise

Right now there’s no hope
You’re hurt everywhere you go,
You cannot call your house a home
You’ll find but misery and woe.

Own flesh and blood hurt you
There is no haven left to hide in
At the age you currently are
Life seems a game you cannot win.

Deary, that’s just it though
You are so young and so kind,
You’ve got strength you don’t even know of
Most of it you still need to find.

There are so many years ahead of you
Now is no time to lose fidelity
Sing your own song, to your own beat
It’s your life – make up the melody.

    Oh, oh oh. It’s beautiful, positively beautiful. I cried. I…I don’t know what to say.

    I’m not sure your rhyme scheme adds anything here.

    Still, not bad.

    i agree, white – i’m still hesitant to go in the non-rhymey way, though. Crying Left was my first ever poem without rhyming, so i’m guessing i should go a little more in that direction..?

    Really good, I actually felt like somebody was telling me this to comfort me about something. So you’ve got good writing style.
