Is This Even Life
Drifting along with the tumble weed
used and discarded
in a throw away world
is this life
a useless smile of imagination
created on false pretense
conjuring up images of a happy existence
propped loosely upon shards of clay
but really slowly sinking
with every step
a neglected soul wallowing alone
as others swallow all that's known
red drops of rembrance
painted darkened halls
another day about to take the fall
do I stand tall
do i believe at all
worth is not measured in what you own
but in what you do
I'll saddle up and meet you at the sea

Gonna need my floaties...I'm not a strong swimmer. Many pearls of wisdom in these lines.

Thank you Heather Jane, flow is one thing I always like to have in a poem. Glad you found that pleasing.
