Array ( [sid] => 62840 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Suffering in Silence [time] => 2004-09-07 03:35:51 [hometext] => From a Laramie, Wyoming dorm room ~ May 12, 1990 [bodytext] => Loneliness
it's all I feel
Emptiness
that's cold and real
Sitting on
this frigid floor
Rain is falling
outside my door
Suffering in silence

Everything
is lost in time
Not having
rythm or rhyme
Reality
goes on and on
Look around
I know you're gone
Suffering in silence

Darkness is
closing me in
Black just like
an evil sin
Cigarette
that's in my hand
Silhouettes
this broken man
Suffering in silence

No one there
to hear my cry
No one there
to tell me why
Now this room's
an empty cell
Empty walls
I know so well
Suffering in silence

All I knew
taken for granted
All my dreams
are disenchanted
All my days
now run together
Every hour
seems like forever
Suffered in silence

I'm suffering in silence

O sweet poet! Such pain! Such sorrow! You are not alone in this... Heart-wrenching piece, beautifully written. Short, yet, it describes your pain so vividly... I am sorry for this anguish that Life has given you. But there shall be more of this horrid thing. Such is life... There will be days that will chew you up, and spit you out; and there will be days that will be remembered forever... A kiss from your lover, a smile from your children, bright summer days filled with happiness... May all your days be like this, you deserve it, as do all... Do not keep your emotions inside; they will build until you are choking on them, slowly dying... I know this feeling very well, mon ami cheri. Lots of smiles and comfort going your way! All my love and blessings to you!! Thank you so much for sharing this excruciatingly sad write. Your soul is slowly being revealed to me, and it is a gorgeous, yet, anguish-filled soul... Much love. Forever yours,

Your dearest friend and devoted fan,

Fleur* (Stephy)

A powerful write my friend, with a very sad and lonely feeling. Repeating the suffering line throughout the poem really adds to the power of the emotion.

Good job, Willofree

this is a beautiful write naz. i loved the part were you said you had no rythm or rhyme. and it didn't really flow with the peice. i don't know if it was intentional but you should say it was and people would be all like" man that was cool". anyway excellent stuff here.

wow. i love how you tie it all back with "suffering in silence" which is almost a poem in itself, it says so much. And, the cold, lonely image of the "frigid floor" just really keeps the theme going of the ultimate pain and loneliness. :-P Glad you commented so I found that you have a wealth of poems for me to read!! :-P Thanks for sharing them!

Great Poem Naz but I hope it is not written from your own personal feelings. It comes over us all especially poets I think they have to suffer so that their poetry can be given that little something that sets it apart. 5/5 from bernard.

Oh...this really struck a cord with me. Very emotional verse. Suffering in silence is a very lonely place to be. This is an awesome poem and you have expressed those feelings beautifully here.
