Yay, another poem preview today!
This one’s called “Lost Limbo”… because that’s what it’s about or… something like that!
Anyway, here’s a poem I wrote to be published in Holding onto Stars tomorrow!
“Lost Limbo”
Please don’t make me go
Into the unknown
Please don’t make me go
Where I’ll be alone
You told me once
It was your home
You told me once
But long ago
—
Don’t make me go
—
For I have seen
The awful things
That brought you to
This wretched place
But even here
You’d say you’re safe
Because you said
The other world
Is a people’s game
—
But I don’t want to go
—
And you claim that here
Many believe
The things they preach
And you state that here
Many won’t leave
Until they believe
But what I cannot do
Is begin to believe you
—
And I don’t want to go
—
So tell me again
Why I must go
Please tell me again
Why I must roam
Among unfamiliar souls
Tell me once more
Why I should be
In a place without freedom
And a world full of peace
—
Please don’t make me go
Into lost limbo
And… that’s it for today!
Let me know what you thought/think!
