World of Misery.

by Courageous Dreamer   Apr 4, 2009


This poem is NOT personal

Eyes heavily coated
with a fresh glaze of tears,
visibility slim.

Feelings too complex,
impossible to comprehend
their unusual behavior.

Emotions compacted
into a limited area
gasping for oxygen.

Pessimism overrides
optimistic thoughts
polluting the soul.

World of misery,
punctured with sharp pain,
no light for guidance.

Color fading fast,
beauty trapped, hidden,
replaced by black.

    I'm not one for dark poems but I rather like this poem. It's dark yet it just exposes how we all feel for at least one moment in our lives, even if it's only for a minute. The flow was great and the word choice was spot on :)

    5/5

    Such a sad poem Tempsy and although you say it's not personal I prefer to see you write pinky poems, or nature poems.
    It's beautifully written though, as always:)
