Despair

In my fragile heart,
You have put a crack.
I can't create art.
My canvas is black.

I can't crack a smile,
I can't sing a song.
Now I'm so hostile.
It's just so wrong.

I used to have fun,
I used to be free.
But that is all done,
Don't you agree?

I hope you're proud,
Of the damage you caused.
My life's in a shroud,
And it has been paused.

Maybe the day'll come,
When I see the light.
When I won't be so glum,
And I'll live in delight.

That day's far away,
So I live in despair.
Here I sit and decay,
Because of my affair.





Author notes

Option # 2!

This poem is written to myself.

I cheated.

I feel horrible.

I was confused, I'm sorry.

I'm depressed.

Blah Blah Blah.

 

Basically I hate myself for it.

    Wow very dark. So expressive and it was like a twist at the end because you couldn't exactly tell it was the narrator talking in 2nd or 3rd person. Like talking to yourself. Awesome write, you're bound to win!

    Don't beat yourself up over a single mistake
    Not that I'm one to talk but
    Your worth more than that.

    Good luck
