My Self

My dreams have been stolen

Easily replaced by nightmares

Darkness surrounds me

I cannot find my way

 

My sins always come here

They torment and mock me

In an endless procession

Of wrongs never righted

 

My childhood visions

Now torn twisted delusions

When I opened my door

To a world of confusion

 

My existence is questioned

Cast out and broken

How long must I suffer

Your  life of illusions

 

My time is finished

Perhaps I can rest now

No memories of tears

I am alone in the end

Very raw emotional piece here. I feel like I should taste bitterness from it, but really I only feel sad acceptance. It almost feels like the narrator has become apathetic about his/her lot in life with "No memories of tears" and seems relieved that the end has finally arrived. Like I said, this is an incredibly sad but moving poem. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Intense introspection in this well written poem. Sometimes we have to let go of "wrongs never righted" just to save ourselves. Lydi**
