Brace yourself Grace

Brace yourself for the fall.
Brace for another loss.
Dreams will be stolen.
Hopes shall die.
Brace yourself for an endless goodbye.

Speak no more of your shattered soul,
Nobody needs to relate.
Bring all the grudges you hold
and take them out for a drink.

You're lucky - you know-
You still have things others could die for.
If only they knew how unworthy it would be,
They'd spend their life chasing dreams.
And brace themselves for their fall.
Brace for a blue weary soul.

i was thinking how some people would just do anything to open that door of dreams, reaching it no matter what they leave behind, its sad because some people would forget their roots just to be with their dream, and then stuffs happens(consequences), lucky are those who are able to swallow their pride and just go back to where it started, & just be happy on the little things... a thousand sigh, here my friend, glad to have read your very expressive piece...

'nobody needs to relate' was a powerful line for me. It's really telling! I like the length of the poem for what you're trying to get across, as well.

Some try so hard they forget to just be who they are...

It would be an adventure to share coffee at a sidewalk cafe and watch as your eyes followed all the passers-by and to listen as your mind spoke the thoughts echoing inside.

I DID just show you that you ARE heard and listened to... and respected for being WHO YOU are. Getting stuck in a spiral of what is good enough to talk about is a sad way for a person to live. It's YOUR thoughts I seek - your views, understandings, seekings, reachings, dreams,heart. Your carings ...that draw us as listeners to your voice. That is all I really said.

I appreciate all what you just said, hearts out for your kind words :)
