Why is this darkness my only friend,
embracing me in its cold embrace,
What is happening with me,
as I navigate this endless maze?
Why do I wish to slit myself,
to escape this relentless chase,
Why do I wish to never talk,
to hide my tears and fears with grace?
Why do I wish to lock myself away,
in the solace of the night,
Why do I crave the comfort of the shadows,
shielding me from the light?
Why do I want to die,
to end this endless fight,
Why is my heart feeling drained,
as if drained by a silent blight?
Why is my voice stuck deep within,
suffocated by the weight of my despair,
Why is peace nowhere to begin,
lost in the chaos of this affair?
Why am I turning this way,
consumed by a relentless snare,
Why are the demons within me,
so relentless, so unfair?
Why am I screaming,
knowing none would heed my silent plea,
Why do I feel abandoned in my hour of need,
lost in the endless sea?
Why do I search for solace,
yet only find agony,
Why does this pain persist,
a never-ending symphony?

short answer, because you're 15
Sure thing! Thank you for reading.
Your poem makes me feel sad, beautifully written. Best wishes young lady. 🌹
I'm glad you found the poem beautifully written, even though it evoked some sadness. Thank you for your kind wishes! 🌹
There is such sadness in your stanzas Cloie. I sense the lack of light in the darkness of your lines. Feeling abandoned is harrowing. You write so descriptively and with emotion. I hope your day today gives you some brightness.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you appreciate my writing. Hoping for a brighter day ahead for you too!
There is without any doubt, a great sadness woven throughout this poem Cloie ..
I sincerely hope that it reflects your poetic creativity and is not in any way autobiographical ..
Remember, there is a light at the end of every tunnel .. One just has to look long enough to find it .. AGT's Neville
I appreciate your concern. Actually, all of my poems do reflect my personal experiences. Lately, I've been feeling a bit different, not as jolly as usual. The thoughts in the poem are indeed what keep on dwelling in my mind. Your understanding means a lot to me.
Focusing on the bad and painful only enhances it. This world is a balance made up of good and bad, weak and strong, pain and joy we only have the choice of what we focus on. A most heart wrenching write of pain and anguish.
Indeed, the world is a tapestry of contrasting elements, and our focus determines our experience. Thank you for acknowledging my writing.
I’ve read it twice and see the “why” as the vehicle that conveys a condition of unending and at this point and unsolveable pain. No matter my urge to encourage , there in does not allow any question of veracity though one may debate each and all stated by you stands with a credence that stands within you , except for one line , where the safety and assuredness thst backs each line proclaimed , does not extend. And my smile of new hope that I can legitimately ask you to join is new hope and change can possibly be linked and blossom from a line that is conjecture. Just conjecture. Not rooted like every other lamenting phrase.
“Why am I screaming,
knowing none would heed my silent plea”, That’s the point we rescue you. Despite what I’m sure is a solid honest belief on your part I must point out to you, You do not know absolutely , that noone , that none would come to rescue. I. Profer that is where Hope lies. I certainly would come and I’m sure many others who’ve read and feeling entwined in your lament would break down Walls to come to help. There is no absolute of this NONE , here there is a hope, there, there is a place you can re-adjust one single thought and create yourself the blessing of one moment of hope that my darling may grow until it’s all around and I feel that is what will happen. God bless you.
It's reassuring to know that there are people like you who are willing to extend a helping hand and offer comfort in times of need. Your words have not only brought me comfort but also a renewed sense of optimism. I will hold onto this hope and keep an open mind, knowing that there are brighter days ahead, thanks to kind souls like you. I am truly grateful for your support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Lastly, Thank you for reading! 😭🧡
