From early dawn into the night.
For I am mostly left all alone.
A virtual shut in within my home.
And no one really seems to care.
For no one invites me, anywhere!

All that I have is paper and pen.
So I can write of what might have been.
And so I try hard not to dwell,
On why I must live in my lonely hell.
Why haven’t I put guns to my head?
I couldn’t sit and write, if I was dead.

Four walls are closing in on my chest.
I must unclasp my buttoned vest.
I suffocate in a panic attack.
A sharp pain shoots from front to back.
My eyes grow dim, there is no light.
All I can do is sit and write.

I SIT AND WRITE!

Contributed by Robert_Edgar_Burns on Saturday, 1st March 2003 @ 12:20:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

I write and sit and sit and write,
From early dawn into the night.
For I am mostly left all alone.
A virtual shut in within my home.
And no one really seems to care.
For no one invites me, anywhere!

All that I have is paper and pen.
So I can write of what might have been.
And so I try hard not to dwell,
On why I must live in my lonely hell.
Why haven’t I put guns to my head?
I couldn’t sit and write, if I was dead.

Four walls are closing in on my chest.
I must unclasp my buttoned vest.
I suffocate in a panic attack.
A sharp pain shoots from front to back.
My eyes grow dim, there is no light.
All I can do is sit and write.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
