The Journey of the Self

a poem I had to write for my English Honors class. Its a 'self reflection'.

Me, lost in my own mind

Masked the pain,

but forever felt.

I was broken beyond repair,

forgotten forever.

 

My life wasn't over,

not yet.

But still,

down i fell,

deeper and deeper.

Desperately trying to climb,

to escape.

 

I plunged a knife through

            my heart,

And my last thoughts

carried me away,

 

What would it be like,

To fly with the birds?

Your poem expresses feelings of hopelessness beautifully. It's sad that many of us can feel this way. Great poem. Well written.
