Ride

You said "feel comfortable to share your writings with others", so, I'm going for it. I'm putting some of my deepest, darkest s**t out there. Whoo, I'm nervous!

I watch, from afar,
With disgust and disdain
As passion, fire,
And life within wane

Although, this fate
Has long been ordained
To watch oneself burn
Is a new shade of pain

When fragments of soul
When last life drains
When darkness closes in
And no pain remains

Believe,
I struggled and I fought
Left nothing untried
Understand,
Something within
Tore me up inside
Know,
That I loved, and felt love
All of my life

In words I found solace
And for years I survived
But just because I'm living
Doesn't mean I'm alive

I don't want to just survive
Just hang on to mark time
Nor do I want to give up
Leaving all my pain behind

No matter what I do
Whichever path I take
I can't prevent the pain
From hitting everything in my wake

As I drive towards the ocean
I imagine I'm one with the tide
Floating away from everything
This is the last ride

P.S Just as a side note, I want everyone to know that I'm not longer suicidal. But I wrote a lot of material at a very dark time in my life. Just thought I should let you all know, I'm okay now!
Thanks

It's really inspiring to think you were able to overcome that period of your life. Through this poem, I think I caught a glimpse of how you were feeling. Very well expressed.

It's cool to know that you used poetry as another outlet to express your feelings that time.

This is really a poignant piece of writing so very well expressed .. you can feel the agony flowing from within the soul of the writer..glad you're ok now..very good work here..

If you think about it, most of the greatest artworks are products of people trying to get the darkness they are feeling at the time out of their souls. I can totally identify with this. Great write!
