I found a very interesting poem earlier I felt like sharing.

Maybe you will think it's cool as well.

If I had nine lives
I'd spend the first one drowning
feel the water seep into my lungs
stealing my oxygen and stripping my breath
maybe after I become unconscious find peace and I will no longer fear the ocean
I could spend the rest of my eight lives living by the water
living with no fears
For my next two,
I'd spend each one with my parents
live in their shadows
learn their deepest secrets and listen to their regrets
so that I don't fuck up lives four through nine
I'll hold their hand and watch them take their last breaths
In my fourth life, I'll run away from myself
the person I cannot change
because I'm still too naive to understand that I am all the things that are wrong with me
I'll chase butterflies and try to find myself looking in all the wrong places wrong cities wrong people
and before I knew it I ran through three of my nine lives
In my seventh life, I'll listen to my parent's advice work a 9 to 5, and make a stable income
settle down with a man I'm not sure I'm in love with
but he is a good father to my children
we will have a white picket fence, a red door, and a big fluffy dog
one that barks at the mailman
for my eighth life, I'll live alone
I'll write books and live in a little apartment in New York City
spend my days writing in a cafe around the block from where I live
and drink wine before bed
I'll do yoga eat clean and have an occasional cigarette off my balcony
I'll raise a cat by myself
and he will watch me take my last breath before my last life
In my final life ill look for you
I'll wait at bus stops and move back to our hometown
try and find you at shitty dive bares
and write letters ill never send
I'll realize that after living eight lives
something was missing
going about life without the person I loved made it all seem meaningless
but I don't have nine lives
I only have this one
So I guess I'll spend it sitting by the ocean and waiting for you

Damn, this one is good... I loved the end, at first it was just silly for me, but, the end... For real i almost cry.

I did cry first time reading. Tear ducts well up.

Wonderful poem.

You must have 9 lives though. As a cat.

I have used quite a few sadly.

Beautiful read my man! Thanks for the share. :)

[Oh_Well]

Always enjoy a good poem.

Sometimes you need to stop, take a deep breath, read something like that, and take a few moments to absorb it before moving on with your day.

We have lots of things to run for, but we must remember that we are also emotional beings and need to give space to this side of ourselves.

Much love

This is really deep and emotional. I felt every word. Beautifully written.

I have used quite a few sadly.

They say a human lives two lives. One with which he is born with and the other when he realizes he only has one.

Have you realized it yet?

That's a strong question. I think I haven't realized that yet. Sometimes I say I do but in reality I don't act like it, so...
Hopefully soon!
