I lay curled on my side in a ball
Completely against my will
Hot tears begin to fall

Blanketed with sorrow
I feel my body shake
Loneliness surrounds me
It becomes a physical ache

Insomnia rears its ugly head
No sleep for me tonight
My mind is free to wander
What it finds is no delight

I lay on my side, as if in a trance
Not awake, but not asleep
Insecurities, doubts, fears
Through my mind continue to creep

As I blindly stare out the window
The cat nudges me with her face
Startled out of my private Hell
I come back from that awful place

Happiness is a distant memory
But for others I'll put up a front
I'll wear my mask and put on a smile
And continue my life long hunt. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Tanna [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

In the Night

Topic: Lifepoems

Head cradled on a pillow
I lay curled on my side in a ball
Completely against my will
Hot tears begin to fall

Blanketed with sorrow
I feel my body shake
Loneliness surrounds me
It becomes a physical ache

Insomnia rears its ugly head
No sleep for me tonight
My mind is free to wander
What it finds is no delight

I lay on my side, as if in a trance
Not awake, but not asleep
Insecurities, doubts, fears
Through my mind continue to creep

As I blindly stare out the window
The cat nudges me with her face
Startled out of my private Hell
I come back from that awful place

Happiness is a distant memory
But for others I'll put up a front
I'll wear my mask and put on a smile
And continue my life long hunt.

Wow! I like it. It reminds me of my hated days, and i totally understand it. Sometimes a mask makes you feel comforted in the dreaded reality we live in.

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. ©
