"Accept me for who I am, or, watch me as I go"!


My life ebbs away,
Dys of suffering grip and tear me,
Nght pierces my bones and rips my skin,
M growing pain will never end.

I cry out but no one answers,
I stand up but my bones feel like their breaking,
They turn their heads and don't listen,
And once again i'm tossed into the storm.

No one lays a hand on a broken person,
When we cry for help in distress,
I have wept for those in trouble,
For the poor i've greved.

When i hoped and asked for good,evil came,
When i yearned and looked for light, Then came darkness,
I have became a nothing a no one,
my harp now plays mourning,
My flute plays the sound of wailing,
My life is opposite

their is basically like a possession word, like saying "thats their dog" but the use of they're is a contraction of : they are. which would fit better i think. sorry, I'm a total grammar nerd :)

Live for today, not for tomorrow

Great poem! You've corrected the grammar and even though it's not correct in the poem, people should be able to fill in the words themselves. It's a minor thing anyway, since the poem is easy to read. All capital letter and full stops are in place and that's the main thing.

this is really nice, I like the flow of the work. yet you do have some grammatical issues, like the difference between they're and their, but all in all this is a very good poem :)
