Inside i longed to escape
Loneliness and pain were my closest friends
Feeding my time, begging to end
Hanging on, surviving on pain
Wanting to die, nothing to gain
Looking at the world in utter disgust
Reading behind others faces, deep mistrust
Analysing myself to find a cure
Suicide thrown out like a seductive lure
Coming back empty, again and again
My grasp at life completely in vain
For the more i look, the less i find
Turning my back disregarding the sign
Others can see behind my wall
But i'm too far gone to help at all
When i look at life, the only thing i find is death
Life is so trivial, i want so much more
I have found a gift i never realised before
Trying to share with others around
No-one realises what i have found
Alone with my gift i sit and feed
Off others pain, it's what i need
To survive
To embrace into mine
killing off time
Alone.....

Life's Despair

Topic: DarkPoetry

My life wasn't going so well before
Inside i longed to escape
Loneliness and pain were my closest friends
Feeding my time, begging to end
Hanging on, surviving on pain
Wanting to die, nothing to gain
Looking at the world in utter disgust
Reading behind others faces, deep mistrust
Analysing myself to find a cure
Suicide thrown out like a seductive lure
Coming back empty, again and again
My grasp at life completely in vain
For the more i look, the less i find
Turning my back disregarding the sign
Others can see behind my wall
But i'm too far gone to help at all
When i look at life, the only thing i find is death
Life is so trivial, i want so much more
I have found a gift i never realised before
Trying to share with others around
No-one realises what i have found
Alone with my gift i sit and feed
Off others pain, it's what i need
To survive
To embrace into mine

poetry keeps you going? good write. I thought at first how could I help this one see that life is there away from the thoughts of suicide we think of our problems then we will stay in our problems they become mountains instead of molehills. you look back in your past. you gotten through all those rough times. did you have to stop looking around you and finding something like poetry to bring you joy. God is there to. hard to ask him. sometimes you just need another to ask for you. stand in the gap. take care your on my mind. sandy

Excellent write, full of pain and despair, we have all been there and no better way to express your feelings than with a pen

You summed up all my thoughts. Really, these words have been flowing in my mind. Very well written, the emotion unbelievable. The pain and anguish, distrust and dissappointment well placed. Great write, I could relate to very much.
