Shadows and Hurt

by Tripp   Oct 27, 2006


I live in a world of shadows and hurt
I'm just here lying, face down in the dirt
and I don't wanna move, I just wanna stay
give up, and lie here till I die I just may

They're gone, and now I must go on my own
but I've already become used, to being alone
I guess loneliness will be the only life for me
my life could be considered depressions epitome

My face is masked in a stare of un-feeling
but inside I'm in agony, and it's not healing
being torn apart from the inside out
but my voice is gone, so I can't even shout

Depression, frustration and hurt are my life
I just wanna end it, with the blade of a knife
slash my wrists and bleed until I'm dry
thoughts of this, better not make anyone cry

You have all forced this fate upon me
a life of pain, hurt, and being forever lonely
I'm still ignorant to why, but I don't care
I've already realized, life isn't fair

Whatever happens happens, and that's it
if I don't like it, my wrists are gonna be slit
I may seem like a wimp, but this is who I am
if you don't like it, I don't really give a da**

I am who I am, and no one can change me
I'm stuck in this way, and I'm still developing
but each day I'm getting worse and worse
pretty soon I'll be driven home in a hearse

Just please remember me, for who I was
and please know that, this is what depression does

    This poem has so many pure emotions in it. You did an amazing job on this. There were a couple commas that were unnecessary as in the second line of the second stanza and the last two lines don't need commas. But other than that this was an amazingly written poem. I loved the word usage that you had in this. And the flow and rhythm was very good and held up well. Great job on this! 5/5
