Moving Forward In Life -------------------------------------------
The Tears
Falling From my Eyes
Erase
All the Painful Memories
Stored
Inside my Heart
For Far too Long
The Pain
That Has Brought me To
The Point of Suicide
Finally
Starts to Fade Away
Leaving me
With A Clean Clear Conscience
And A New Reason
To Move Forward in Life
Though I Can Never
Erase Every Bad Memory
I Thank God
For Gifting me
With These Beautiful Tears
So When I Look To the Past
The Only Memories I Find
Are The Ones
That Were Meant
To Carry my Soul to Happiness
How beautiful are the words of "My only memories I find are the ones that were meant to carry my soul to happiness." Ah-so,why remember negatives when positives carry their pluses. Positives are always up and negatives are always down. It's sort of like choosing between < and > and how one flies one's own kite. I wish everyone would try my favorite exercise: When low look up high. When happy keep looking up high. In this manner, the lows will only glance your chin instead of hitting you between the eyes and blinding you.
I really liked this. It is a story of triumphing over sadness. And sometimes that is hard to do. Also, I loved the tears in this (or at least the mention of them) because as we should all know, crying is one of the best things a person can do. And then there comes that time when you know that you need not cry anymore, but you are still grateful to those tears for being there for you during the hard times. Is this what you meant? Or did I just screw up the whole meaning of your poem? : )
This was written well. I liked it alot. It makes me feel kind of stupid for dwelling on the bad memories for so long. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll keep reading
I totally agree with what you said! It is indeed with purpose that we need to realise the importance of our own lives from an individual perspective and a perspective of interaction.
It is not by default that we as persons have emotions, feelings, temperaments, views, desires, disparity, and thoughts etc. We need to utilise these and learn to better comprehend the significance of our lives in the relative spectrum to other lives.
"Degrees of separation?".... perhaps.
I believe that we all have an intrinsic effect on everyone we meet and interact with the laws of nature (human or otherwise make it so) .
I think happiness in some small part comes from an understanding ourselves within that definition.

Ron, this is another woderful, sad and melancholy verse, that ends with uplifting thoughts! The saying that time heals all hurts isn't exactly true; it's more correct that it allows them to numb at least to the point that they don't take over our lives! Well done!!
To look back in the past is to learn from it. To examine the present is to walk with it. To foresee the future is to anticipate it. Suicide is not the answer, there's always something to live for out there Cheers. Azuire
There is nothing more cleansing than a good cry trust me I am always in tears for one reason or another like last night I was crying while I was watching the biggest loser
Hi Ron This was very nice.Tears can really lighten the heart.I think this is another lord's gift granted to us.If there is pain in this world,there are tears which can make it less severe.There is always a ray of hope in life which makes us move forward in our lives.I think we all should try to reach to a state where all these worldly pains should not affect us and we attain eternal peace.Your poem has given me the idea for my another poem.Thanks.
This is a lovely poem. It is so true that tears cleanse the mind, body and soul, releasing all the tension and stress that can be overwhelming. This is a nice poem of insight into your world, your experiences, and how you found the way to release all the negative thoughts and feelings and find internal peace and happiness. The past can haunt you and unless you can let it go, live in the present, and look towards the future, you can never be truly happy, which is the ultimate goal in life, at least it is for me. Good write.
it started with a very melancholy feel, i felt a sadness wash over me while reading. then towards the end, it gives a sense of hope, as if to say there's always something to look forward to, hence, the title, moving forward in life. excellent sentiment, nicely written. i like the expressive way you use your words, they have real feeling. you are a deep and thoughtful person, and this comes across in the poems you write. whirl**
Ron, Loved it. It was very awesome and it had a lot of meaning in it. The title really explains it all, Moving forward in life. Very good, maybe not your best, but good. Peace, ~Caotic~
