I try to be happy--
You all think I am.
If only you knew
That my life is a sham.
I smile when I'm around you,
But I cry when I'm at home.
Even surrounded by people
I feel so alone.
Just look into my eyes
And you'll see my soul.
There's nothing really there,
Just a gaping, black hole.
I'm empty inside--
Incomplete, hollowed out.
I can't make a sound--
Not able to shout.
I'm wilting away...
There's almost nothing left now.
Please, somebody, help me
Save me somehow.

I don't really know if I'm happy with this or not...some of the lines don't really seem to flow very well...but I haven't written in so long, I thought I'd give it a try...lol

Thank you...it's mostly artistic expression, but i think everyone goes through those times in their lives when nothing is going right and it seems like the gods are against them...i was just feeling it...and if you notice, most of my work is sad/depressing/suicidal--but that's because those are the emotions that are most dangerous and shouldn't be kept inside...so i vent through poetry.

very sad and tainting...but yet beautiful as you described me when i was severely depressed...very sad i can hear the angels crying with you.

I like this quite a bit. I hope that it is more artistic expression than the reality. If so, I hope that you will be ok.

I think it flows very well. It such a sad poem, and so very well written. Great write.
