Poem Commentary

There comes a time in your life when you feel like giving up the little hope that's left in you...and yet...that little hope is fighting back and telling you to still be positive in life...

Raising the White Flag is What My Life Demands

Which way should I go?
Which path should I choose?
There’s so many things laid before my very eyes
and my heart will soon give up.
The light that was given is becoming blurred
and only time can tell how long it’ll last!

I want to hope…”don’t ever give up!”
my mind keeps telling me but most of it has decided
to let go of the little hope that’s left in me.
My hand is starting to raise the white flag,
but I know it’s not the time yet.
It’s not the proper time yet!

I know how to control my emotions…
at least I knew how!
But as days go by, smiling is becoming a burden
and it’s becoming harder and harder to find a reason to laugh!
Just a little laugh is all I ask…
just a simple reason to smile will surely be enough!

My eyes are already immune to tears
and a day wouldn’t be complete without shedding those tears.
My lips don’t widen anymore.
My ears are used to hearing the same things over and over
and yet, it still is troublesome not to mind them.

My chest is always heavy as if it’s carrying the whole of me!
And my mind! My mind!
It doesn’t know what to think anymore!
Which matter should I focus on?!

I’m in the brink of giving up the little hope that’s left in me!
My sanity will soon desert me.
My faith…oh my faith!
Please don’t let go of me!
You’re the only thing I could hold on to.
I’m at the edge and falling is just an inch away!
So please clear my vision once more!

Lift my heart from the cares!
Please give me that hope back!
Please!

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.
