Empty Life

By Awesomeshiloh

IT'S TIME TO TAKE A WALK
INTO THE DEPTHS OF YOUR MIND
I'VE GOT THE ANSWERS
TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU FIND
IT'S A LONG, HARD JOURNEY
INTO YOUR MINDS ABYSS
BUT THE TRUTH IS THE THING
I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'LL MISS
IT'S FOGGY ON THE ROAD
OF YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT
AND IT'S COLD, DARK, AND LONELY
EVERYWHERE YOU BEEN SENT
IF IT'S PEACE THAT YOU SEEK
THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE TO BE
'CAUSE I'LL LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL
JUST TO KEEP YOU WITH ME
YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR FAMILY
IN YOUR TIME OF NEED
I'M YOUR EYE'S CATARACTS
THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T SEE
I'M WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING
I'M ALL YOU CAN BE
I'M EVERYTHING YOU KNOW
I'M YOUR FRIEND APATHY

I would comment on this poem but I just feel so blase' today that I might just put it off until tomorrow maybe (HA)! This had a superb finish that wrapped things up very nicely. Welcome to DP and your style seems familiar to somebody who showed promise and then drifted away. Cheers!

I feel ya. Hello there and welcome to Darkpoetry.. Make sure to roam and read and it shall bring em back to ya as well.. If you eva need anything i'm a click away. And before anyone else says anything when you post in all caps it kinda detours readers away. Although I understand why it's initially done as far as wanting to be heard.. I hear you love..
