To Believe

Sorry I didn't care for this, but someone made mention to me that they couldn't see the light or the reason to live. I was angry when I wrote it and so it's not my usual. Just a knee jerk reaction I guess.

To Believe

 

If there were just one thing

just one

I could believe in

then I’d bend and bow

just to say

They’ll bury me

to dig me up again

They’ll burn me

just to scatter my ashes

 

I could scream and yell

just to be silent

I’d kick and stomp

turn up the volume

to make me speak

I’ll give it up

just for some peace

and one thing to believe in

just one thing

Got to agree with Kate and Eileen on this absorbing and intriguing question....the first reference point should always be belief in oneself....and then fan out from there ..Dale..
Glad you posted it...

Believe it or not...I want to be cremated...and scattered to the ocean...where no one can ever put my pieces together to haunt those that made my time hell on earth!!

Thought provoking read Dale!!
