There was nothing to greet me in the morning
Suddenly I realised I've been robbed
Of the things I barely thought about
Where have the beautiful rays of the sun gone?
Why isn't anybody around to talk to?
Do they not know I've always hated being alone?
But there, the world can no longer hear me
Within these isolated walls I stand
My tears they have long run dry
This heart of mine none will ever feel
I'm all alone and that's the painful truth
Nothing's funny;it hurts even to laugh
Sweet memories decieve me;they are best forgotten
In a moment like this what do I do?
Do I cling on to a thin thread of hope?
Do I give up and quit or do I still believe?
Maybe My Maker is still up there.....
Looking down on me, seeing through the roofs
Perhaps I'll survive;it's too early to give up
I'll live because my race is not yet complete

Thank you for your submission. Much appreciated. It's not in my race to give up. Agreed. The purpose it the will to choose light, when light is invisible, in my opinion. -
I like how all the different thoughts and feelings seem to war together. Really good poem.
