These poems deal with angst and hurt and a bunch of other emotions.
Rage
Burning fire, filled with rage,
Pours over your heart and into your soul.
The steam clouds your mind
And alters your judgement.
You step, falter, rethink your path
And start on your way again.
Illuminated obstacles block your journey,
But you float past them
On your way to your own destiny.
Friends drift by on the way to their own destiny's.
You watch the world pull and expand
Right before your eyes,
But you can't do anything about it
Cause you're still filled with that rage.
Help Me
I'm huddled in the corner,
A blubbering mass of pain and sadness.
I feel that everyone walks away
And expects me to stand on my own.
But I can't, I need someone there
To hold me so I won't fall.
I know you can't always be there,
But when you are, I need you.
No one seems to understand me,
They just laugh and smile
And say it will be alright.
It may be, but right now
It doesn't seem that way to me.
I don't think I can make it,
I don't know how to survive.
Wounding Words
You wound me with your words
Floating through the air I can feel
Your anger make its way towards me.
Distrust, disillusion, dishonesty
Wind themselves around me.
Fear surrounds me, anger confounds you.
Why do you say such things,
Can't you see their effect on me?
They burn, they churn, they worm
Their way into me.
Your words envelope around my soul
And cut me off from my heart.
It
It's looking for you.
It's out there waiting for you to find it.
Can you feel the power emitting from it?
Do you know what it is?
No? Well neither do I.
But I do know it's out there.
It's collecting, calculating, and cultivating,
Just waiting for you.
It's undescribable, undeniable, and unbelievable,
But it's what you always wanted.
Why don't you go out and find it?
Doom
The sky is filled clouds of doom,
Darkness sweeps across the countryside.
Birds of deception fly overhead,
The winds of tomorrow push me towards the end.
Standing at the edge of the black abyss,
The fires of destruction lick at my face.
Bats of hell come rushing out of the pit of despair,
Creatures of the past breathe at my back.
Enveloped by the emptiness,
I disappear into the void so nothing remains,
Alone
Sitting here alone by the fireside,
I can't help but think of the past.
Of times spent laughing, screaming, crying;
Where have they gone?
My friends have moved away and on,
I sit in the same place always.
I'm stuck in the present,
While they have moved onto the future.
Alone in my solitude and misery,
I wonder if I should have gone with them?
