Detour on the highway of Life

Each day goes by...you're still not there
Surely you know how much I care
I know your going through some shit
I am too, but alone I sit

 

Going through changes of my own
If I called would you pick up phone?
I miss the visits of the past
It seems a spell on you's been cast

 

My self esteem has spiraled down
Noone to share with in this town
You have been my closest of friends
Near or far our friendship transcends

 

Victory for you, I feel is near
You will win, some of them will sneer
Their puppet no more...be set free
I know real soon a change I'll see

 

Deep inside it's eating at you
They've seen God's work...they think 'taboo'?
Bums on seats makes them Christians not
To them you're a 'Gordian knot'

 

Set yourself free my treasured friend
To all your woes, let there be end
You say you don't know who you are
Let them not your character mar

 

I know and love the you you hide
I hope you know I'm by your side
No matter how long it may take
I know you're torn by thoughts opaque

 

I think the fog is clearing tho
Your feelings you need to let go
Let them all have it, no holds barred
Free yourself...your burden discard

    This is an awesome piece, my friend and it has been so long since i have had any of your poems to read. This was a real thrill for me cause you have spent so much time reading my pieces. I don't know who you are referring to here but through your words, it sounds like your friend is going through a very hard time and you are there no matter what. Excellent rhyme and rhythm and the penned words nothing short of brilliant. Thank you for the sharing and keep up the great work. Love to see more of them here. (love the background)

      Thanks so much...

      No, I haven't posted anything for a while. Have been busy giving up smoking, spending 2 weeks in rehabilitation for my back, battling putting on weight as a result of stopping smoking and going through menopause

      I wrote it for Linda (Recluse Writer)

        Hope you get better soon, my friend. I gave up smoking over two years ago and haven't looked back. I also have a weight problem but it is not from smoking. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.

    I can do naught but agree with you on this one, Julie. When it comes decision time each must make their own choice and stick to it, even if there are a few who sneer.
    To thine own self- be true. Well done dear poet.
