Sometimes (original poetry edit/redux)

in #poetry7 years ago


Sometimes I must remind myself of things,
We're all drops in an ocean of beings.

Sometimes it takes whole days to remember,
That fires inside can grow from embers.

Sometimes this life feels really confusing,
Humbled again by more ego bruising.

Sometimes I forget and start judging me,
Then I surrender and set myself free.

Sometimes losing track of what it's all for,
Recall where I started, humbles me more.

Sometimes this doubt eats away at my heart,
But I refuse to go back to the start.

Sometimes I feel stuck and lost on the path,
But time isn't real and I do the math.

Sometimes frustrated by lack of progress,
It's not always about me, I digress.

Sometimes I feel like I'm walking alone,
Then I remember I'm on the way home.


You can check out the original version of this poem HERE, which version do you like better? I may rework some more of my older poems to fix the flow or rhythm and if you guys want to compare I'll post the updates. Let me know what you think! Namaste.

Sort:  

this is a good rework. flows better, simpler. the couplets work really well.

I like the old one, but it felt really clunky and like it needed an update. I might do some more, we'll see how this goes.

Sometimes I struggle, the real of myself I need to get off this dusty, dark shelf.
Love this poetry. <3

I think we all struggle some times. <3
