From the glassy sky above,
The cold sun looks down,
Down here,
Where the branches move sadly,
Where the birds sing melancholically,
Where people are hurt and cry.
Bitter wind passes through my hair,
Drying my tears,
But not healing my heart.
All the signs I gave them,
All the times I've cried,
All the times I told them,
But they didn't hear,
They didn't understand.
All the times I've complained,
All the times I bled,
All the times I didn’t smile,
They didn’t see,
They didn’t understand.
All the times I ran,
All the times I stayed by myself,
All the times I talked about death,
They didn’t hear,
They didn’t understand.
And now my heart is cold,
Unable to feel hope,
Betrayed by the light,
Conquered by the darkness.
Now I'm fallen,
Crushed by the pain,
Left alone in the dark.
Where are you,
My heroes,
The ones who were supposed to save me?
Why weren't you there?
Why am I alone?
Please don't leave me here,
Crying on my own.
I wish just
For a shoulder to cry on.
Alone I'm now,
Alone I'll be forever,
Because they didn't hear,
Because they didn't understand.
And now,
Then sun is setting,
Ending a day.
Crimson rays of the sun,
Search the sky,
For a friend.
The birds go back to their nests.
The wind stops blowing.
The air is still,
The view is static.
The day ended.
The night begins.

Teehee the fun thing about that contest is that by being on Lily's favorites, you get even more reads, applauses, and comments, from us friends of Lily who randomly check out her favorites. ^_^ Anyways I really liked this poem...I know exactly what you mean, unfortunately. But yeah, it was well written. Now I have to go read your other stuff... ^_^

Thanks very much for your nice comment... Yeah the feelings that I wrote about are unfortunate, but I could not write without them, so yeah... It's unfortunate but it's fortunate.

Wow. I really love this poem. I can really feel your emotion and pain in this, and I can also relate completely. People's misunderstanding can be so painful. The imagery is just awesome and the flow is great. Good job and good luck in the contest!
