The End

A little poem about the end of life.

Not my life but what do people going through massive problems think?

Maybe this?

What would you do if your number was up
If you suddenly found yourself on the edge
There is no one to talk to
No one to trust
And nothing to tell you no
So very tempting to take one step
A single step too far
No turning back
No rewind
Nothing to keep you there
If life had a mission and you failed completely
Is there any use carrying on?
If death and submission were the only tradition
Would you break it and make your own?
If love was a curse and you loved all your life
Would you go insane?
If everyone you cared for suddenly turned silent
Would there be any use carrying on?

So many questions
Too few answers
How do we know which to take?
The highway of life has come to a sudden stop
The barriers are there
The warning lights are flashing

Drive on?
Drive on!

    To fail is when one has never tried in the first place. One never fail completely, it is just a fall and we just have to pick ourselves up and either carry on and learn from the last fall.
    There is always someone listening and or will to listen but i pne will to truly talk.
    Life is a highway and we all do reach barries but remember that you are never alon jut look a little closer and you see. Only your finger is one the stop button to turn off the warning lights because if you don’t someone may follow.
    Your written word are formed from emotions that paints a picture to clear to egnore.
    Well written Mika.
    Very expressed – Peter

  • Mika replied

    So true Peter!
    Sometimes though we lose sight of our goals so much that there is little to recover from it
    And the only very tempting step is to the side and right over the edge, ive felt like that alot but not recently.
    Im glad you like it :)
    Thanks a million!

    I can absolutely understand and more than empathise . Whether that was written from the heart or ‘hypothetically’ I think that is beautifully written

  • Mika replied

    Totally written both from the heart and head
    But im not too sure about who yet >.<

    This was very powerfully written indeed. I hate to see anyone in that condition. I’ve been there too many times myself. I may not be able to figure out why I carry on, but I do. Let’s see if it is worth it. Well done.

  • Mika replied

    Thanks so much JR!
    Appreciate the words and the wisdom!
    I know ill get through it, just not sure when >.<

    I felt this piece
    like everyone else is saying ….this is a powerful piece
    to penetrate thru one’s heart and clinch you
    is true power
    nicely composed

    You pose big questions in this deep verse…..well crafted to really shed light on a subject that some would rather shy from. Some people are always in an ‘up’ mood and some struggle with the moods that can take them unawares….at the end of the day both are just people doing the best they can in their lives. This was an important piece of writing…I say well done for putting it out there. X

  • Mika replied

    Tahnk you, thank you!
    For reading it and leaving such an awesome comment!
    It sucks getting caught unawares and the journey can sometimes be a rough one, i just hope that i come out on top every time other wise who knows >.<
    Thankies!
