    Its not yours to take

    I heard the news last night
    it got me thinking about a time
    when all this
    seemed like a myth
    when i read the headlines
    without a difference to my life
    now its too close to home
    runs a chill through my bones
    its too close to the heart
    don't know if i can still fight
    when you talk of such ridiculous nonsense
    claiming to be alone
    with no friends to help
    i mean woman what am i?
    i have done whats within my power
    i will gladly do it again
    i just wish you would understand
    this is not your decision to make
    it's not yours to take
    your journey is just beginning
    why end it before it's prime?
    times are rough
    unbearable at best
    its just a phase
    a passing stage
    one you will look back on and smile
    coz you would have made it through alright
    having learned your strengths.
    Finally seeing
    the beautiful person you are
    created in His image

    i heard the news last night
    i got such a fright
    coz i know you might
    However, its not yours to take
    was never yours in the first place

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
