Pain and Tears

 

Lost and hopeless,

Feeling alone in the small world,

I turn to the dark things,

i turn to the past,

I find I am destroying myself,

Destroying who I am,

I wonder would it be worth it,

If I tried to stay,

Would it be worth trouble,

the pain,

the sorrow...

Or would I be chasing false hope,

In a dream world that really never comes true,

I find myself tired and alone,

I felt strong before,

but now am weak,

Happy,

but now sad, 

Together,

but now alone,

The tears I’ve wasted,

the time that I’ve lost,

Now look to the future in search of something better,

And I hold my head high,

And find friends to now comfort the bad that had once came,

They say all good thing must come to an end,

but within the end of bad things,

come new beginnings,

and from that some find hope,

to never love kills the soul but,

to take the chance means so much more

Hi Mike...you have written this as if you had been married for twenty years. As if you have endured the pains and struggles of a difficult marriage. As I was reading through this, I could identify with so much of the content. My wife and I are just going through a difficult time right now and the words seemed so valid to me. Well done....write on.
your friend,
Todd

Michael thanks for the connection. This is good. You express yourself well. sometimes a poem has more punch to it when there is less of it. Try taking this poem and making a second one out of it. Put them side by side and start slashing words. Take out the"thes" and the "ands" and pronouns [descriptive words]. See what you come up with. It can be a really good poetry writing exercise.

Very nice. I kind of find myself in that place...things are so bad and you want to turn to the bad things tha you once did in your past. You know they're not good for you, but it's kind of like an old blanket that you know will comfort you...for a little while at least.

Like this and the emotions in it, a painful write of finding oneself, well written, felt this way a time or two, very well said and well written.
