Suffer in silence.

I lay curled up in the shadows my face stained with tears.

My eyes cold and blank portraying my deepest fears.

The light outside bathes my room in a eerie orange glow.

And the ticking of the clock pierces the silence as it whispers painfully slow.

When it is midnight I feel so alone.

Like I'm trapped in this cruel, hateful world on my own.

They say be grateful  I can still get through.

But, why should I be grateful when there is nothing wrong with you.

My life is a web of pain and despair.

With the burden of a secret that I can never share.

[Coyote Poetry]

Strong and sad emotions in the poem. Easy to fall to sadness and lock yourself up in a prison of walls of fear and loneliness. The description in the poem was very good. Life is a long journey. Sometime we need to feel sad and alone to be able to think and figure what we want. Life does get better. A excellent poem.
