I was never the chosen one
No one in the audience, and days of fun
Are slipping from me like golden sand
And everything is getting oh so dark
Where did my memories go?
I don't know where did my dreams go?
I don't know, I don't know
Why does everything feel so unreal?
It's like I don't believe the truth
I look into your eyes and I don't see you
I'm the prey in your ruse
Holding on but letting go with every sigh
In every valley of light I see clear
Crawling out of this panic, this unforgiving culture
Where the ceiling is getting lower
And we look at the books we forgot to read
And we slip in and out of routine
And we open another refrigerated Budweiser
Waiting for rosebuds to bloom
Our eyes get tired and sleep is the only escape
Sleep is the only escape
But I wake up to the sound of your voice
And the day is alive, but I'm still an empty void
Like some kind of orphan with no one and no home
And everything just feels oh so broken.

Your words are truly so beautiful but there’s so much sadness within
I'm still an empty void
Like some kind of orphan with no one and no home “
That speaks of so much sadness
Great poem ,
Thank you! I would probably blame it on music, maybe. I've tried to write happier poems but when I tend to write I'm listening to contemplative music, and I'm almost compelled to write about morbid subjects. My poetry is a reflection of my life, and I haven't really had a happy life. Don't get me wrong I've had my moments of happiness, but they are few and far between! Alas, I'm quite a sad person. But I love reading poems from poets like you. Your poems are so pretty and filled with hope. You kind of have a Stevie Nicks touch,. If your poetry was a colour it would be gold. X
I can relate to feeling sad in ones life .. as I’ve had a lot of sadness in my life and it feels so frustrating and unfair , doesn’t it ?
I’ve been through a lot of trauma which had made things feel difficult . I too have had my moments of happiness but yeah not as much as other people ...
Sorry that you feel unhappy
And thanks for your kind words about my poetry 🙂
I really like writing about nature but yeah sometimes it helps to write about my feelings .. it feels healing sometimes ,
Sometimes I feel good or better but then I feel sad again ... but least I “ can “ feel more peaceful at times , just a shame I still have to deal with some sadness
