Goodbye

this fight is so hard to fight
i feel im losing no matter how hard i try
these tears just keep falling
one by one into an ocean of misery and pain
can no one hear my cries
is my cry for help in vain
i have lost all hope
and soon i will lose this fight
how will i go and where will it take me
i am so tired of trying
being nice gets me no where
only heartache and sorrow it brings me
how can others be so cruel
stabbing me deep inside my heart
the blood explodes into a fountain of torment
what makes one hate
did i do something to deserve this
was i not good enough or just in the wrong place and time
god please answer my prayers, i think its too late
im on the path of no return
no one can stop be now
i have made up my mind
it is time to go
the boat has left the dock
heading on into the sunset
i will not look back
headed towards a better place where i will hurt no more
most will not notice my abstence
those that do, please dont cry
i am hurting no more
i have spread my wings and have flown into the clouds
i am free , for once in my life
with out sorrow. no more tears to shed.
i love you with all my heart, goodbye.
Life has so many different emotions. Happiness, sadness, anger, confusion and etc. As you notice with my poetry some of it is happy and some of it is sad. I will warn you that some of these poems are of dark nature. very deep and close to my heart. Poetry is a great release for me. Guess my own therapy for what i have been thru. I share it with you today, to not only open the doors of my world but maybe to touch others. Whether you can relate with the words I have written or it envokes something inside of you, I have accomplished something! So take some time to reflect on what you have read and enjoy.

Left Its Mark

into the sun i go
it's blinded my reality
all i see now are the bright lights of the fires ahead
the warmth of the flames
keeps me safe when i feel cold

the closer I get the farther i get
from the madness of it all
my eyes begin to blur
from all the smoke from the flames
it begins to burn my skin

the blackness fills my soul
and darkens my heart
i loose all grasp of sanity
soon my world will not be the same
a changed man I will be
no way to change what has passed
and what I have done

how can i live with what i have done
and what i have not
i feel like a failure
for i have done nothing with my life
but is that me speaking
or just my insecurities
or just those that would love to see me fall

i look back at my life
and what do i see?
that is the question i do not know the answer
it is clouded by misery and pain
how do i let go of the only thing i have none
the comfort of my misery kept me asleep at my
the sound of my own tears
and the soft dull roar of my heart
were all i had during it all

so you ask why go thru life feeling this way
how do you change what you do not know
all my life it has just been apart of me
its like your shadow
sometimes it appears bigger than it really is
it learns to hide behind you
and sneak upon you when you least expect it

it will grab ahold of your jugular if you let it
take your very last breath
drain you of your very last ounce of life
leave you with just a shell of who you are
an emptyness youll never refill
once it taken whats its come for ,
its gone as soon as it appeared
leaving you with nothing
but a feeling of lonliness
longing for what was yours
and what was stolen

you miss it
but yet dont know what it feels like
to have your soul back
it was taken without your asking
with no regards to your feelings
like a dager thru the night
it ripped your chest and stole your heart
everything you knew that was right
is now wrong

your innocence, your childhood, your privacy
all gone
replaced with an ooze of slim
covering the inside of your body
you try to wipe away the feeling
you scrub and scrub
and its as strong and real as ever
no soap exists that will clean this dirtyness
the dirt has been rubbed into deep
so deep you cant see the dirtyness
but yet you feel it
its all you sense now
you've lost all other senses

and you go on in this world
trying to cleanse yourself of this
your life cycles thru
time after time
the pain reappears
as different monsters
but the same ole evil exists
destroyed your soul
left its mark
