The Weak

This is how I see myself.

How often do you imagine

the way for a weak man to die?

Plastered with a smile, shown all's fine

and years of battling life, till he can no longer try.

A crash, a fall, a hang, all possible ways

driven mad by his own mind.

A blade touches his pulse, he slays

what's left of sanity- he can never find.

A devil forced to live

in heaven he'll try to achieve.

How often do you see

a weak man hearing his own eulogy?

Is it murder his murder for him

if the blood gushed out is his peace?

Will it just be a dream

for the weak man who lives to please?

And now faces turn to judge

the depths of his thoughts that opened up.

And now a smile that really holds a grudge

to the weak man and everyone who claims the top.

Author's Note

I'm in a bad state right now.

It sounds like it; I am so sorry you feel this way. Maybe poetry can be an out for you; you never know. Maybe try some counseling it might help as well as well as keeping a journal. Just some things to think about when you have the desire to. Try to have a good day.

Weakness. Hard to define. I lived in poor places and places of wealth. I have seen weak and strong people. I recommend be like the willow tree. Flexible and standing your ground. We must bow sometimes to find peace. No-one win war or battle. I enjoyed your poetry and thoughts. The great men and women led with concern, kindness and love. This is consider weakness. Our leaders of today. Demand and threaten. Can't find peace with guns and soldiers. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I can only imagine what a story is behind this poem... Keep writing, we all have our own demons and everyone suffers differently. But like they say: you never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you've left... Just keep fighting, even if it means putting those dark thought and feelings on paper, maybe one day when you look back they'll remind you of how hard it was and how you managed to push through...

Very deep and dark, if this is how you feel of yourself you must know that your friends and loved ones see you significantly differently. Writing can be the perfect sounding board for one's own feelings, so I hope that this type of write helps you to deal with problems. take care...dan

This is really a depressing piece. You expressed your distress well in your writing. And very strong imagery. I think you really need someone to talk. Though I also believe that's what a writer can do, you expressed yourself through writing. Stay strong.
