Me

If the stars ever fall
You'd be surprised
To see me smile
For the first time

But
Shun me not
Oh friend
Oh stranger
HOPE
Betrays me
So I have to
Find refuge
In hatred
Where I can justify
My loneliness
Where I can only
HOPE
For darkness
Pain and sadness

Down the pit I go
And I'm taking my pillow with me
If I never get up
I'll never fall again
And that's how it works
Now you know me

A dark message Winter. Failure is a bitter teacher but expecting to fail is about attitude. Your poem tells of loss and some self-pity.
You are a fine poet, write one about spring, warmth and sunshine.
