[bodytext] => I've died a thousand times
For all the tears I haven't cried
And now I'm bleeding
Worthless and alone
That bitter, salty taste in my mouth
Pushed everyone away that cares
I never thought I could be this low
That my strength would eventually fail
And leave me sick and broken
In this insanity I slowly rot
I wish that I could die
Since I've already died inside
I'm broken and worthless
And this singed relief
Blows away with the winds of sorrow
As I stare into a mirror
Trying to find the answers hidden there
And why my will has been sapped
I lie here broken and destitute
Depression leaving me with nothing,
But a broken ruin, a picture of myself

I feel the same way a lot of the time.
It's bad to think this, but it's nice to know that there's people out there that feel the same as me. I know how it feels to get so low that you don't even know what to do. Yeah... Heh. |

Dude this is well done, it dredged up some of my more painful memories, so I know what you are trying to portray, it is a harsh world we live in.
Take care dude it can only get better. |

"That bitter, salty taste in my mouth

I relate to this a lot. I think we all get this way from time to time. Hope everything gets better for you.

Wow, I love how this poem was nicely wrapped up in a golden bow of great stanzas. Its hard to come up and face yourself but Im glad youve written this poem of your struggles, I shared the same once. Your not alone. I have no idea what your talking about, you dont have good grabber titles? Thats bull. I would have never thought of just a great name that perfectly reflects this piece.
Kisses,
~Soulless~ |

I was browsing your poetry -Bo- and the title's my eyes were drawn too I had already read! Hey you've got to post some more and soon.
But this one, this masterpiece not only caught my eye, it was perfect for my mood.
If there was ever a person who could make a reader feel either good or bad, happy or sad you can do it.
