Suffocated Spirit

by Sherry Lynn   Feb 14, 2008


Feeling of loss
Consume an empty soul
Wandering aimlessly down lonely roads
Living in the dark no light in sight

Gloom and despair overtake
Happiness disappeared
Searching for life
Instead death consumes

Anger and hatred now reside
Joy is merely a memory
Never again to be seen
No longer the desire to live

Tear drops fall night after night
Thoughts of escaping hell
Torture a demented mind
Sorrow has become the future doom

    This is well penned and executed. You did justice to your title Sherry cause that's what you described profoundly in this piece. I always like this thing about you Sherry that your poems invite the reader to live your words and to feel it hence. That's what Im left with uptil the end.
    You are among my best writers and will always be as your words touch my soul always.

    Deep and intense. Your beginnings are always fabulous and so is this. You display such deep and raw emotions in here specifying how depression and despair is- The journey of it and the sufferings behind.

    Gloom and despair overtake
    Happiness disappeared
    Searching for life
    Instead death consumes

    This verse revolves round despair and speaks how when depression and negativity overtakes, positivity and optimism seems blur and eventually it disappears. this state is worse and a person gets numb sometimes and I like the way you depict the ultimate feelings here.

    Anger and hatred now reside
    Joy is merely a memory
    Never again to be seen
    No longer the desire to live

    The journey is continued, the sadness prevails. Its so true that when anger and hatred stays, it closes all the roads to joy and makes one live without an aim or desire. Wonderful verse to speak volumes on this topic. I don't know what was irrelevant here..

    Tear drops fall night after night
    Thoughts of escaping hell
    Torture a demented mind
    Sorrow has become the future doom

    This is a sorrowful end, with a wish to search for a glimpse of happiness, sometimes we end up being disheartened and gifted loads of darkness to live with.

    Excellent flow, excellent word usage and most importantly excellent emotions' portrayal.
    Keep writing(:
    Awesome piece(:

    Very well written. Emotional and tragic angles made it quite touchy.
