Existence

Emo School

Why is it that

The shadows dwell,

And the soundless

Voice echoes within me,

Telling of the

Horrible sorrows

That become me,

The evil emotions

That consume me,

And tare me

Apart inside as well

Why is it that

I ache for happiness

In this pool

Of dark abyss,

Why is it that

I freeze in time,

Fall out of line

And shatter on

The ground,

The icy silence

That speaks to me,

Is what makes me

Content in my

Oblivion, in the

Darkness of

My mind.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this because I felt empty inside. I felt... dead. Like there was nothing there to live for, but... like I was going to live on in spite of the feeling of trapped loniliness.

I can totally connect with this poem. I've had to contemplate life...and why? Why do I long for happiness when all I seem to bring is loneliness upon myself. Keep on writing, this was amazing.
