Recluse.

by BlueDreams   Jul 26, 2007


It has finally happened I've seen the light
Time to turn day into night
No more causing pain or self abuse
Time to live as a recluse

Anything I feel or happen to see
Will only be known by me
All will be buried, left unsaid
As that side of me I put to bed

In the draw stays the pen and paper
As the writing will surely taper
Things that I can't help but write
Will be filed and out of site

For many I can see varied pains to come
Easily they may be averted by some
A warning or another option is all they need
Time to be hard and cold, let them bleed

I loved being able to write and talk to assist
Alas, this must all be dismissed
Raising the cup to my mouth I take a big gulp
Realizing my mind is turning to pulp

The positive energy I once did emit
Will now be unmoved, just sit
I weep, almost cry
As I close my minds eye

It has finally happened I've seen the light
Time to turn day into night
No more causing pain or self abuse
Time to live as a recluse.

    I can truly relate to this poem. As I read it, it almost felt as if I were writing the words myself. You have some very deep thoughts and you put them into words wonderfully. I was able to follow this poem with no problem at all. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Bert,

    This was a difficult piece to read as is with all sad pieces but it was well structured and conceived. A fine job indeed

    It is beautifully written,I feel...
    A food for thought if I might say...It makes me think that all we need is just the warmth and care of others to keep us going...

    I really love it(:

    I like the repetitipn of the first verse again as the ending verse.....very nice....

    Several lines in this stand out....

    Raising the cup to my mouth I take a big gulp
    Realizing my mind is turning to pulp

    ^ sometimes the words just don't come....

    I weep, almost cry
    As I close my minds eye

    ^ so sad......humans need the comfort and love of others....can't think of a worse fate than that of a recluse.....Well written and thought provoking!
