"All you need is Love."-The Beatles

View profile

I see through the words,
And the actions.
I know them all too well.
I've heard them all before,
And will hear them all again.
But in the end,
You're just another mistake.
Just another,
Slap in the face.
Hello, reality.
Goodbye, cloud nine.
I free fall through the skies of love,
And land flat on my face.
I lie there,
Until I slowly,
So slowly,
Pick myself up.
You are behind me.
And the world is ahead.
Hello, world.
Goodbye, mistake.
It does not matter how many times I fall,
But how many times I rise.
I hold on to hope.
And I know,
All will be well.
All is not over.
Hope is not lost.
There is goodness still.

© Dominique D., Ozone Park, NY

I wrote this to inspire people to push through the tough times, to remind that there is always hope, even when all seems to be lost.

Cloud nine is sort of like a non-existing place that people use to describe the feeling of being giddy, on top of the world. And thank you :)

I really like the idea of this poem. No matter how many times you try, you know it's not worth it and you still carry on. Nice work!
