The forest of innermost beauty
But a place full of chaos
A heart full of warmth
But a heart full of sorrow.
The insignificance of unworthy moments
The want, the need, the must have components
The love, the hurt, the pain that we share
The good, the bad, the sorrow we bare.
The willingness to feel, the want to express
To suffer still, without regret
To stare at the sunrise, to look at the moon
To give up your heart in hopes that you’ll be loved soon
To continue on living in unwonting despair
To continue to live on not giving a care
A sense of laughter, a sense of fun
A sense to not have that special loved one
To be around danger, but yet hold fast
To hold your head high, living with class
Sleeping each night, dreaming of gold
Watching the goods of the dream unfold
Then waking up with your heart filled with strife
Realizing that you’re back to your life
Attempting suicide, wanting another
Loving your father, your mother, your brother
Sensing despair, sensing regret
Holding on, not giving up yet
Forgiving others, protecting a friend
Willingness to do it all over again
Not passing judgment, taking the blame
Living your life not hiding in shame
To suffer long, to suffer still
To finish your day, strong in will
Then sleep and rest for the harmful toll
That the day’s events took on your soul
Then waking up early to start again
Knowing that this jungle has no end
To fantasize, romanticize,
Criticize, fanaticize
Living on, not being stilled
Knowing finally, when your life is filled
Not giving up, not sitting down
Facing yourself without having a frown
Facing yourself, clearing your heart
Happy with life happy playing your part
Rejuvenated strength, sensing the end
Waking up to start again
Ending each day, but wake with a start
To reopen the jungle, the forest of your heart.

BRAVO! I know just want you mean, dear poet...a heart is a beautiful, chaotic place, wild with colors and words and song...a confusing place, really, but you live your life hoping to untangle it. This was an excellent write, very expressive. Thank you so much for your kind words on "Black Day Abandonment"...I really appreciate the feedback! Keep on writing, for you definitely have talent, and good luck in all you do!

I adore the very last line. This piece was very informative and creative, it really does get deep down into the nitty gritty folds of the heart doesnt it??

Hmm...well, honestly, I think that this could have been trimmed down JUST a little bit, lol, and the meter tweeked some more to give a smoother flow. However, I have to say that this had some great messages in it...and really hit home some of the most powerful lessons one will ever learn in life.

Well, not the best, but good nonetheless.
The flow is quite good and the imagery is great.
However, I found the rhyme scheme to be iffy...it started off with no rhyme, then got a rhyme, then lost it, then started back again, continuing on.
"Then go sleep and rest for the harmful toll"
The rhyming here sounded forced to me, considering the next line.
Overall, nicely done. I like what it's trying to say. Keep writing. -
very well written..good luck

A+++++
Excellently written poem. It flows greatly. One of the best pieces I've read.
