Alone But Not Lost

By tinkdarkchyld

I am alone.
No one hears me cry,
tears shed without a loving eye.

My body tumbles into the depression.
Mindless in its greif,
no one around to offer relief.

Skin ravaged by my descent,
asking for no help no one hears me gasp.

Endless waves wash over me,
my heart broken and forgotten.

Lonely golden eyes let the love shine out,
only nothingness knows when im about.
Walking the razors edge,
the grave begins to look like friends.

A welcome smile breaks the shell,
I am already in Hell.

The sweet siren song,
rushes me along.
The ache in my soul,
the grave offers to take.

The seductive release,
only two thin cuts to relinquish my lease.

You know what?
Fuck this.
I am alone.

I am miserable.

But I will not wax dreamily about ending it.

Life is hard, life is often shit.
But to give up is pathetic.

I do cry, and I do ache, but I am not weak.

I will live, if only to feel pain and anguish!

I will not let it break me, I will not forget what love is.
I am a fighter, so goddamnit, I will fight!

I will stand beneath the storming sky,
I will scream my battle cry!

I am unweilding, I cannot be broken, I will not submit.

Let the horsemen come,
let the fire rain,
no matter what...

I
Will
Remain.

    ~blushes deeply~ I just write how I feel, and dont really care too much if it fits the standard for poetry. I was feeling very depressed and started writing, mid way I got angry at myself for downward spirialing and that is how the ending was spawned. I am glad that in my writings own odd way can help anyone though. be well

    while reading this there was a point about half way where someone slapped me in the face and told me who i was. thank you for reminding me that regardless of how much shit happens we can get through everything.

    The strength and the will to go forward is admirable, we all fell forlorn at times, but that's just part of life.

    i like this. the comfortability in the familiar misery, and the fire within and the strength to go on and break though. beautiful.
