Aetherius Poetry Contest-Form Poem #1

Written by: Lady Resonance, Rayalan Kith'Vahni, Mask of Autumn
Date: Monday, October 22nd, 2007
Addressed to: Everyone


Faced with decisions, always difficult to make
Once more, left alone with something so fake
Caught in two, something harsher then reality
Left alone, heart's path left up to me

Ultimately its my own to make
A promise I made, kept for alls sake
Honesty so painful, finally turned full round
Leaving me with something profound

Valued friendships I truly do have
Something I value as I wander this path
Once more the truths I hold so close
For once leaving me the one morose

My feelings I placed second in flight
I watch those, encouraged with all my might
Questioned now, my feelings bottled tight
And helpless I feel, with all I want, now in sight

Forbidden to me, in touch almighty
It's something I make others see
I created this mess, trying to fight it
Torn apart I am, given not this fit

Realizing it, I cannot lie
It's a reality I shall not fight
Once more, it's mine, gifted to be
For my greatest enemy of all, is Me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This poem was inspired by the fact that sometimes, everyone has to make
horrifically difficult decisions. It comes to us in life from time to
time, and sometimes those decisions can feel like they are undermining
you, or you are always arguing with yourself to figure out what is best
to do for the situation.


Penned by my hand on the 10th of Letum, in the year 534 AD.
