Corner of First and AmistadA Poem by ShahrierAll I do these days is sit around In the corner of my room Never making a sound And even though my eyes are wide open I can’t see the palm in front of my face Can’t see my life as it slowly decays I feel so lost in the voids of my mind Searching for something to put my mind to ease But there is nothing I can find Why do I feel the way I do I have good friends around me Yet I feel so blue I feel like I’m losing my faith in people these days I feel so lonely but I don’t want to go back to my friends The very thing I want, I wish they’d stay away What is it that I miss, what is it that I want I’m still just sitting in the corner of my room Trying to figure out my emotional assault There is nothing wrong with me There is nothing I can complain about So why am I lost in thought, away from reality Why am I so needy, desperate for you to keep me company Why do I push every one away So maybe you will finally come to me Why do I sit in the corner, why not just go enjoy the day Why can’t I cure my sorrows I don’t want them to stay I wish I knew how to fix these wounds, I wish I had the strength to do so I don’t care to know what I feel I just want to know how to stop these crippling blows. © 2014 Shahrier |
