Sad

While, true joy is forever,

My happiness comes never.

While those around all seem to be,

I guess that life's just not for me.

Since everyone knows me too well,

Since I've made lives a living hell.

It's much to hard to live and be,

To live this life is killing me.

My ever-present, constant fear,

Of being trapped forever here.

I hope and dream to get away,

I live my life for that one day

I must escape, I must get out,

I say this and I have no doubt,

That if to live means staying here,

Then my life's end will soon be near.

I can't take this deaf'ning silence.

Don't know how to react but violence.

I cannot stand, I cannot be.

Don't have the strength to just be me.

wow, this is a really really good poem! i really love the rhyme scheme you used and the different choice of words for it. this is the first poem i've ever read from you, but i think i'll stop by the others and take a look. i hope that this poem doesn't really reflect your true feelings, but if so i hope you do "escape" whatever it is that is making you feel this way. Love to you
