The silence eats me alive, so lonely and deprived.
This hatred i hide, but myself i cannot disguise.
Each day I live, I die a little inside.
These cries and screams are muted, my thoughts executed.
Their words cut me down to size, scrutinized, it echo's in my mind, leaving me blind to the world as i unwind.
Like a ticking time-bomb, my feeling explode inside!
Just as quickly as all came i bottle them up, and eject them. Leaving me hollow to their shallow thoughts, all absurd.
I drown in my sorrows, this sea of depression.
Neck deep in misery and regret, and yet I wait.
I hold my last breathe as it drags me down, all thoughts twirl around.
Twisting and squeezing all life out of me!
Does anyone see?
Numbness fills my body whole, mind and soul.
This i cannot let go! I try to shake it off, but it lasts longer than i ever thought.
This kind of survival i've never been taught.
The more i try to fight it, the more it resists.
So i let go of my last few breaths wanting eternal rest.
I've guessed everytime I get lower, I always float to the top.
Only to go through it worse, again, and again.
This feeling's sinking in, now my only friend. . .


The author's comments:
I wrote this during a challenging year of my life. Sometimes writing poems comes to me easily, and other times I have to work for it.
Regardless, I share my work in hopes others understand they are the only ones feeling this way, and that it's okay.

Wow I'm letterlly speechless! First of all, the way you find the right words and expressions to say is just amazing, you're truly gifted! ^_^ Second of all, it the way you let us picture the scene and feel everything you felt, in some ways we can all relate to your poem. This is so true, so strong yet very painful and sad. I love the metaphors and descriptions you used here. Please keep it up and be proud of your writing cuz you certainly are talented. I truly hope you're doing better now ^_^ Thanks a lot again for sharing this anf letting feel that we're not alone in our pain. 5 stars of course :D
