Sometimes

Sometimes,
I feel like,
My world is left to burn.

Sometimes,
People say that,
They’re so sorry to learn…

Sometimes,
I hate it,
I hate the growing pain.

Sometimes,
I want to,
Just forget and play again.

Sometimes,
I know that,
What my Mum says is right.

Sometimes,
I wish she,
Could make me believe her fight.

Sometimes,
I get so,
Depressed and weaken.

Sometimes,
I cannot reach,
That hopeful beacon.

And sometimes,
Most times,
I can see my disease spread.

And sometimes,
Most times,
I wish that I was dead.

But sometimes,
Other times,
I hope I’ll pull through.

But sometimes,
Other times,
I’ll do it all for you.

Sometimes,
I try desperately,
To laugh, sing and smile.

Sometimes,
I think,
Maybe if I try for a while...

And, finally, sometimes,
I struggle on for,
Me.

And, finally, sometimes,
I’m selfish,
It’s ME.

I thought of somebody suffering from cancer and their emotional turmoil. Hope you like it.

Its very emotional I'm not huge on the short stanzas but theyre not bad they almost sound like your tired of pain which might of been your point.

I loved your poem! It seems to have a deeper meaning than just what appears through words, and that is what helps the reader connect with the poem.

Thanks, glad u liked it :) it's the other way round for me, i can only write rhyming poetry and when i do free verse, it just sounds kind of stupid and random

I loved to read this and could actually relate to it pretty well. I wish I could give you some feedback, but honestly I'm terrible with poetry and only write free verse or haiku. I just enjoyed reading it.
