"Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works." Virginia Wolf


Life has lost it's meaning,

I lay broken and bruised,

Unable to stand.

They say the grass is greener,

But it's a lie,

Just like touching sky.

Without a purpose,

We're useless,

Now I must do what I have to.

You laughed now you cry,

As you try to say goodbye.

Wonder if life will,

Throw another hurdle.

As I begin to twirl out of control,

I feel my purpose is gone.


The author's comments:

This poem is about the moment when you feel life has thrown it's worst at you and now all that is left is a broken dream, a purpose vansihed but what you need to take away is that you're not alone and that when life slams the door, find a window and if that doesn't work then find another way out but what you msut learn is you're never truely without a purpose, you're just lost. waiting to be found.

Like the connection between the first/last lines, that's the mark of a good poet:) As for determination, sometimes you just can't struggle anymore. You have to call on God and He will save you.

would you like to cowrite? our topics are relatively simallair, I have loads of experience writing short story, but I've never cowritten, so that's a liability.
