Dreamers Around You

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blackness surrounds them

Constricting their thoughts

Spiraling down into the abyss

Another world where "I" is common

 

In the corner of depression

With the loss of opportunities

Body fading away to nothing

This is war

 

Fighting with invisible soldiers

Only seen by its owner

The soul creators of fear itself

Those minds belong to them

 

Sitting in the corners

The corners of their last will

Where their thoughts are processed and understood

The world of perfection

 

Pure art created by them

The people that know the truth

The people that are mocked

Mocked by the unintelligent

 

Labels given to them by society

Unfitted by their names

Never understood by the nation

Creating their own world of peace

 

There are many of their kind

Surrounding the world

Ideas slip out now and then

These people are the artistic

The dreamers that know

 

These people are also you.

Reviews

[Dilan Gray]

I loved the images in this poem, it was really gerat! The ending was awesome, I really liked how you turned everything back onto the reader. My favorite lines were, "The people that know the truth/The people that are mocked," I think rings true. So often the people that are ridiculed are the ones that end up being right in the end. This was a great poem and I really enjoyed it.

My depression is like a wall I hide behind, never letting anyone in. But then I read I find I am not alone and am able to begin taking away the bricks. Your poem moved me my friend.
