Blackened View

How cold life is
with this demon inside
twisting my emotions
making them worse then they seem
Anger and sorrow
I so commonly feel
the little bits of happiness
seem false
an illusion

From a dozen twisting emotions
to nothing at all
there is hardly any meaning
in doing anything at all
To do the smallest of chores
takes a lot of energy
to get work done
dosen't seem worth it

Happiness and peace
are nothing but dreams
that are only just out of reach
The darkness and pain
is too real for words
for I feel it's razor edge
cutting into my heart

The world has gone
from something so bright and happy
to something so thickly dark
were light is only a glimmer
An eternal night
in this cold freezing world
from my blackened view
I see truth
I see lies

A blackened view
from a soul trapped in shadows
where nice sunny days
are cold and dark
no comfort in sight
no meaning at all
why try
why be

Very good! I could feel the emotion and the sorrow in this. Having felt like this before, I could really appreciate the subject. I know how it feels to feel completely alone, and I'd say you captured that feeling pretty well in this poem. Again, a very wonderful write.

Geeeezzz !

I felt just like that when I got up
this morning, no friends, no heat, nothing !

Then, I had that cup of strong, black coffeee
and what do you know ! The whole, cold world
took on a glow.

Once I had turned up the heat, had a little something
to eat, it was a different world, actually it can`t be beat.

So, will you do a favor for me ?
Will you be my friend ?
I would like to share----I got it all , fun and warm and
oh, you know, life is a glow. Come sit with me, hold my
hand. Feel that warmth ? That`s your fellow man.
Just a person , that`s all we need. We need to know some
other person is in touch, somebody who thinks a lot and
someone who needs to see you smile, just because you
need to smile. That`s all !
