Alone

Alone

A Poem by Joshua J. Certain

The world doesn't fit in with me

Point and stare

I am its freak

The people are so speechless

I trap myself

Sleeping to escape reality

I don't want to remember all those things

All the things that  have left me

No friends or family by my side

I've fell in love a few times

Now I watch it all leave behind

These accomplishments are become failings

No one there to be proud of me

Wathch me graduate University

Go drink in a dark backstreet

Forget those who forgot me

Then I forget me

Where did all the smiles go?

Where did my mother and father go?

Life has become a wasteland

Painted by my own selfish decisions

So Alone I write

Alone I drink

Alone I sleep

Alone I turn into Ebineezer Scrooge

Hating all the happy things people do

Realizing I only miss the laughter I once had

So long ago

Now just a dream

A dream that is drifting further

This life of mine

Is now a pasted world of copied misery

Dirty, filth is becoming the man that is me

"Point and stare

The people are so speechless

Sleeping to escape reality"

I liked the rhyme in this portion....stare...reality. Dope!

The loneliness sometimes gets so unbearable in life...we cannot let ourselves give into the darkness within. I'd say that i appreciate the darkness you've conveyed in this piece...the regret, the acceptance...nicely done.

Good. It feels like I'm talking to myself... it's a known feeling. Good write. Dark is always beautiful.

Well I am not so sure about the review from your friend Revolutionary. But part of what they sat rings true it is very sad and it touches on too many nerves to count. You do use really great imagery almost too well. Joshua keep your chin up and remember always to keep writing no matter what it is great for the soul no matter how depressed you may or may not be. The last time one effected me the way this one did and I reached out the person laughed at me and told me it was just his great imagination but irregardless just keep writing. Great work.xoxo
