Words, in and of themselves, are simple manipulation of the vocal cords, clicks and ticks of syllables, a phonetic energy of the tongue coupled with a reasoning brain. But when words are chained together in a specific, articulate and powerful way, they bespeak a response unspoken, heartfelt, poignantly sad and touchingly beautiful... they create art.
You have done that here, with three simple lines and a photo. I bow, humbled...

wow, thank you for that great complement. I always love art. Im really honored by your review.
The message I got from this poem was: "There are people around me who make me insecure, so now I choose to be alone and embrace the emptiness that comes with it - that way, I'd never have to face my enemy."
It's sad.
And it was very short but at the same time, it gave birth to meanings. Good job!

Perhaps we all feel this way i know i do everyday. That is why i hide my face from the world, hide inside, books. video games and more so inside my own writing. Knowing it is one place the darkness can not touch me. like i have said many times before. I do not look in the mirror, for when i do all i see is the ugglyness i have become. I don't see anything other then the monster, I see nothing worth saving, i only see death, i see destruction. I see nothing but a shell of emptiness that no longer has heart, no longer sees beyond the darkness. Even in my dreams i see nothing but a rotting corpse.
Pax I missed this piece of yours . I saw what youre saying my friend. I saw this quote about Loneliness
" Lonely is not being alone but the lack or absence of understanding that others do care. Never being able to believe that you are special and loved. "
Even for just a brief period I was able to see your other side and I realized that we have so much in common. I see you and I hear you my friend. You walk a familiar road. Though how many times you pass through it somehow you never get used to it. There is still that familiar pain and feeling that gnawed inside your chest. It has become your constant companion, a shadow. Please be strong and hang on there. Its a pleasure knowing you. Hope we cross path again. My presence is no longer needed and welcomed here.
Your short poems are always so powerful. Wow! This was so depressing, I loved it though. Everyone feels like this in some point in there life and this just captured it so well. So sad and deep: good work :D
