Ah, destiny

 

Ah, destiny, here I am again,

following the same footsteps

on the same path of madness.

 

Each day seems to erase the next,

nothing seems to come true,

there only is loneliness.

 

How can it be so true,

when it hurts so much,

that nothing is healing my mind?

 

Oh, but I must not weep,

I must not get blinded,

those tears of fear.

 

And yet, I feel not guilty

because of these feelings,

for they are so pure.

 

They make me cry,

they make me scream,

they are inside me.

 

They are everywhere,

these thoughts of pain,

driving me insane.

 

Ah, feelings of hurt, in me,

but no guilt, no, not any guilt.

I am free and yet I’m bound.

 

How did it come to this?

that I shall feel confusion.

Fear I never will feel love again.

 

They are burning me, my tears,

corroding my skin they are,

showing no compassion.

 

Ah, destiny, here I am again,

crying for my fate,

it’s throbbing in my head.

"How can it be so true,

This is a very strong poem that shows your emotions very well. I can relate to this, how nothing seems to help heal you, as more pain comes. I didn't notice any mistakes, the words captured me. Good job!
