Comfort

Normal people see the superficial truth, outcasts see it the other way round. I hope this piece will bring you some comfort.

“Comfort”

Is the reason that in nowhere I will find

Despair

The only thing left in me is

Hope

When friends come and take away

My solitude and my darkness

The knives driven through my heart are

Withdrawn

When love is

Used to heal my broken heart

It

Even though

Can look pale sometimes

Comforting words like “are you ok”

Will still heal me slowly

The veil of lonely nights

Shall not cloud my soul

The light -  

The aura of soothing

Is going to dispel

“Harm”

Mmm...yess, it did bring some comfort to me...after all tis an amazing concept!
I know how does it feels when you wanna do something good and that ends up into something hurtful....this maybe done unwilling yet it can make a broken heart more collapsed.....but friends are needed or else why this bond was discovered....we should believe in reasons!
You've shared an amazing thought here through a wonderful poem...thanks for sharing :)

Ha this is clever a contrast between comfort and harm and how they can both exist in the same relationship one on the outside a veil to hide truth one on inside a veil to hide lies absolutely brilliant my friend people can bring you despair or comfort their is truly no inherent value to either emotion it is the one you choose to revel in that matters whether it is false or not is only a judgement you choose to make the world is not so black and white emotions are not the epitome of us as people neither is perception both can be changed and are infinitely variable thank you for showing me the little flips of perspective in life and poetry (: Brilliant write my friend.

Thanks Aimless Wanderer. I guess most friends are trying to provide comfort to us, but instead, the effect is just the opposite. People seem never being able to realize that mere words are pale, cheap and weak. The wasted effort sometimes just make the cruel world more visible.
