despair

what is loneliness 

apart from pain

is it silence

filled  with disdain

is it living a life

with nothing to gain

is it looking out a window

to only see the rain

with nothing left to share 

with no one left to care

you drift by your way 

to only see abysmal day 

will oxycontin  end my stay

hang your head and cry

It's a great big bummer, way worse than a flat tire. I used to feed mine alcohol, thinking it might ease up or go away. Just made it worse, of course. When the cure finally came, it walked on two legs. Your fine poem tells it like it is.

Despair is something I dont wish to experience...as I was also there ,but now I`m in higher plnes :)
It`s really heavy feeling. Very nice poem, and rhyming.

A despeerately dark place to live in. Need throw open doors and windows, air to enter, voice to shout. Escape from those scrawled and screwed dark words of sadness. So hope -if fact, the tide turns; if not, you've brought this sadness to life.. somehow.

I think we have all felt despair, in one degree or another, in our lives. It is good to express ourselves by putting our thoughts into words.

Thank you lea ups and downs get us all some time or another but moods can change with the weather thanks for good words

[Lea Sheryn]

You're welcome. Every day is different. We just have to face what comes our way, good or bad.

The despair certainly does hang over your words as a cloud. I do know this feeling and while I've never turned to self medicating I feel like this could either be a last call for help or that final coping mechanism. Very sad poem that really resonates.

Yeh I think I took that emotion and magunified it

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed a sad refrain that captures some of the emotions of being lonely and in dispair in a rhyming poem. And yes unfortunately oxycontin would be a sorry but effective end.

[Cherrie Palmer]

[Kent Rawski]
