Feelings Of Hopelessness

read my vent here

Invisible needles stab at my face

As I struggle to breathe.

I’m just a stain on the human race

A mistake in the tapestry they weave.

I’m ripping down the curtains,

Tears like rivers.

All I know for certain

As my body quivers,

Is a life that seems like centuries ago,

A memory to fade.

Now drowning in my sorrows,

A river meant to wade.

I wail as

Memories rot.

A tail,

Something about a cot.

As wallpaper fades

and rage grows,

I’m still here,

No hint shows,

The sorrow hidden behind this mask,

A painted smile,

A daunting task.

Abandoned,

Distraught,

A feeling,

A thought,

Of a life that seems to be forgotten,

Smiles fading,

Thoughts turn rotten.

Save me from this misery,

Tearing, ripping,

Calling, I plead,

All I ask

Is emotion to show,

To rip away this mask,

But still I toil alone.

So hear my plea,

Just leave me be.

"So hear my plea,
Just leave me be." I love this last line of your poem. It really resonates with the entirety of the work. Powerful emotions such as love often do this to us. Make us conflicted upon the things we truly yearn for and yet despise in the moment. Continued success on your writing journey.
