The Abyss

by Ashley Van Eperen   Dec 20, 2005


Sitting against a wall,
Created by me,
Hurting deep inside,
Unable to breathe,

Looking all around,
At the faces I know,
Seeing them all smile,
Its a pain that won't show.

Knowing they're okay,
And that I'm not,
It hurts to watch them walk away,
Almost as if they forgot.

I'm chained to a prison wall,
Created from all my pain,
I'm lost inside a shattered world,
I'm caught in a deadly game.

I wish for a tear,
That someone could see
Maybe a cry loud enough,
Or a cut that'll bleed.

Its like they don't know,
That I'm crying inside,
That I'm trying to suppress my tears,
That I'm trying to hide.

I remain locked up,
Shackles at my wrist,
Cutting deeper into my soul,
Thrown deeper into the abyss.

    Hey.

    I think this poem needs to be overhauled in terms of syllable count, because as it stands to me right now, it's a little uneven in the flow...though it's a fine topic and it never becomes too cliche.

    Oh and modesty is a good thing in some cases, especially when somone who isn't makes brash claims to skill they perhaps don't possess to the fullness they describe.
