Life's What You Make It

Keep believing
it's a life you live.
Many men wish death

blind from good things.

Crying in the night,
running out of days
to put everything right.

Makes me wonder
Where do broken hearts go?
Helplessly hoping
the world I know
will never end.

I keep believing
everybody has a dream
everybody's got a story

for you to hear.

    Great piece. I used to write poems, using titles from other poems (on another website) and it was fun to do.
    You did very well with this one.

    'Where do broken hearts go'... very sad, 'cryin in the night, runnin ot of days to put everything right'...I could go on, but to say there are true in your words, there is a story in everyone, just sad the endings are all so very different. Good luck wth your contest entry...

    I liked your poem very much and you used the song titles very well. I especially like the last stanza.
    " I keep believing
    everybody has a dream
    everybody's got a story

    for you to hear."
    Good luck in the contest. God Bless
