I Just Don't See

by Torn   Oct 26, 2005


I just don't see the point,
On continuing this life.
Where everything will end,
And all is filled with strife.

Where pain is the norm,
And it just wont go away.
When you wish you weren't alive,
To see another day.

I just don't see motivation,
To follow all your dreams.
To finally get that goal,
But all isn't as it seems.

Where getting up is hard to do,
And smiles are hard to fake.
When you're left with a feeling,
That you just can't shake.

I just don't see love,
That is supposed to fill the air.
That is supposed to lift you up,
When you feel no-one is there.

When you're too young to know,
And guys just let you down.
When friends are also coping,
And they all just seem to frown.

I just don't see those angels,
That are supposed to guide you.
What if no-one cares,
What if even they have no clue?

Where you count on someone else,
To look after your heart.
So that it wont burn away,
Deep into the night.

I just don't see happiness,
That resides somewhere far away.
I've never seen that land,
I hope to go there one day.

But it seems I'm just too far gone,
To even try and pretend,
That things will be OK,
And that there will be and end.

I just don't see an end,
Will there ever be a relief?
So that you're not such a burden,
And not filled with so much grief.

This isn't suicide,
It's simply my only hope.
To be living for something,
Because i can no longer cope.

I'm living for death,
Until the day he takes me away.
That day I'll be ready,
And I'll no longer stay.

    I love your poems, that one made me cry. I know we all live purely in order to die, but suicide isn't really that good a way to go. Did you know that thousands of people die in tropical countries every year because they stand under palm trees and coconuts fall on their heads? Didn't think so, but it's true!! So think about that next time you have a gun in your hands!!
