Is...is this true peace: True serenity?
Or have I confused alienation with tranquility?
Have I unknowingly commited social suicide
Or have I discovered what it takes for my soul to survive
Is love the illusion that it now seems
Or am I right that there's more than the pain it brings
I thought I used to know, back in spring; before winter
But, now the world grows cold and I just can't remember
They talk about my heart, and say I don't care
And all I can say back is,"...Don't go there"
Now completely lost, I feel the force of my fall
I've lost all sense of love for others and know nothing at all
So, Lord I ask you day after day; year after year
I'm face down nowhere to turn,"Where do I go from here?"

You only get more amazing. If I could, I'd give you 5 applause, but i can't so 3 will have to do.

This is an interesting piece. I could feel the emotion in this, think everyone has felt this way at least once. Nice work.

the only thing to do is look forward and try to be positive

Nice to meet you Seth...I think many people feel exactly like you do...kind of lost, and wondering where do we go from here?
I liked your poem and wanted to take the time to tell you I liked it.
