Still

I tried to open my eyes,

Open up to see nothing.

I tried to move my body,

Moving to be still.

    

     Straining to listen,

     All to hear nothing.

     Fighting to feel something,

     Just to feel numb.



I tried to open my mouth,

Open up to say nothing.

I tried to tell you,

Ended up not to tell anyone.

    

     Fighting to tell you,

     But with out words.

     Trying to show you,

     By showing nothing.



I was here,

But not anymore.

You said you know...

Did you know?



     I tried to open my eyes,

     Open up to see nothing.

     Trying to move my body,

     Moving to be still.



Instead I close my eyes,

Closing to escape from here.

But I'm trapped here,

Six feet under.

    

     Where there is darkness,

     Covered by light.

     All is seen,

     Seen as nothing.

I really like this one, Kate. You are so profound,...so truly deep in your thoughts. I've been trying to write poems like this on this site, but I guess I'm just not that advanced yet. I think that you are able to express certain emotions in a really advanced poetic way. You're poetry is very intelligent and highly telling. I can tell you one thing...you have certainly earned my total respect. I very much admire the work you have posted and consider you a really superb poet!!!!
