This is mine
I’m just spinning my wheels, going nowhere fast;
I could try to care, but empathy I lack.
This place has ruined the person I used to be;
There lie the remains of me.
I have no strength left to fight back;
I look out at the world and everything is painted black.
The darkness surrounds my thoughts and leaves me feeling weak;
People are so depressing to a misery like me.
In sorrow I remember those days of light;
Every hope I ever had has disappeared out of sight.
No longer can I remember what I wished for,
That is if I was ever deemed worthy of a wish at all.
I guess not, because I sink under the truth;
When life is so hard, why should I ever try anything new?
It will all be the same at the end of the day,
So keep your happiness to yourself and I will keep walking away.
Do not try to follow me; this destination is mine to seek.
You are not even a memory; an empty head sets me free.
All the love in the world cannot fix my broken mind,
So leave me be and I will stay away from your world of lies.
Heaven is a dream and life is a nightmare;
People are all the same, so I cannot care.
Another day of sadness as I head towards the grave;
You and I are not so different, but we will never feel the same pain.

I know how you feel but things get better if you just stick in there and if you ever need someone to talk to I can make some time to listen
Thank you. I have felt this way for a long time, but my emotions change all the time. Sometimes I am happy 🙂 and sometimes I am sad 🙁
Poetry is cathartic for me and I am doing ok at this moment in time. All the bad feelings sink into the poem and they are removed from my mind. (An empty head sets me free.)
Thank you for the kind offer, but I don't know how to chat on this website.
The only way I know how to chat here is by replying to comments.
I'm only a little bit sad, so have no worries.
Well if you have kik we could chat there mines kswitch24
Loved your poem, I too release my feelings and emotions through my words and find it very cathartic. Although my days are now filled with much love and happiness the dark sadness still creeps in from time to time. Excellent write!!
Thank you. It's always nice to hear from like-minded people and I love it if people can relate to my poetry (because that means I am doing something right), so once again, thank you.
Great write. Hope things start to look up soon
Thanx. I'm sure some day things will be as I would wish them to be...but today is not that day.
Welcome
In real life, no one has a wonderful day, every day. It's ok if we find ourselves in a place of darkness. What's important is to not remain there. Thanks for sharing such an honest piece. Well done!
Thank you for reading it. I find writing poems like these allows me to let go of the bad feelings. I'm not always sad 🙂
Great poem! The last line says a lot. "we will never feel the same pain". I feel sad sometimes too. And poetry helps like I see it does you. I hope you feel better real soon!--Christina
Thank you. True happiness is still far away. My pain is my own and I have learned to live with it. Others feel sad too, but I am hiding inside my own self-pity as I write this poem.
