underneath it all we try so hard
compelled to make ourselves forget
killing both emotion and the self

yet still not said though silently implied
on we wait for anything worth waiting for
unsatisfied each day resigned each night to die
refusing to admit the sadly obvious

again we rise to live our lifeless lies
perpetuating endless drudgery
anti-climactic so as to exemplify
the void inside that like a cancer grows
here inside do we allow ourselves to wish
yet still we live and die devoid of hope [comments] => 2 [counter] => 204 [topic] => 13 [informant] => undeadsuperstar [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

I here ya but there's always hope as long as we have breathe in our bodies. Yo've written this so well that it brings back ones own remembrances of self destruction. A very deep sad but very good writing.
I can look back and feel good now as oppessed to when I was in desparation like this. I think every one has these tendacy's in one way or the other. Most jus hide it well.
Once a person looks inside them selves it's scarry but we die daily and we grow dailey.
Keep up the writing as many need to see what your writing says.
Like I said, I truly think we all can realate.
luv, huggs, happy writing,
emy
