If I am truly strong in mind, body, soul, and spirit
Why am I so weak right now, in pain and dire torture?
I have the will to carry on, but I'm incapable of trying,
I face my troubles with a smile, but inwardly I am crying.
A look, a simple look of love, a thought of random kindness
A hug, not given cause I asked, but cause you want to give it.
And when you pass me in the street, don't just ask me what I'm feeling.
Really get to know me well, for I really am quite lonely.
So lonely that I use my words to touch another's soul
I reach and grasp trying to feel a heart thats overflowing
And through my grappling with myself, my search for all the answers,
I crave a love that isn't there, if so, it's quick and fleeting.
So as I lay on my bed of tears, rolling in pain and sorrow
Remember that I called to you, but you're to deaf to listen.
And when I wipe the tears away, and yet my heart is still to full,
Will you be there through the pain? WIll you bring unconditional love?

That was my favorite stanza. Because it shows that a guy can be a nice guy and doesn't have to be asked what to do all the time. Great job and thank you for entering my contest.

I like it. Very powerful. I liked the part about getting to know you and not just asking the impersonal questions.

Wow. That poem was so good. It nearly made me cry. Keep up the amazing work, fellow oboe.
