Ponder with me
for a moment
if you will...
Imagine
being different
from everyone
you know.
Never
fitting in
anywhere…
Being in a crowded room
yet
being alone...
Having "friends"
whom you had
nothing in common with...
Wandering around the depths of your mind
knowing that those around you will never understand
the thoughts and ideas that reside there...
Picture yourself
hiding in the place
that you know
will comfort you…
The darkness...
It doesn't have to be
a sad, depressing, morbid place
that engulfs you.
It is only the place
you know
and call home.
Lurking in the shadows of your mind
and letting your imagination empower you
to the point you know you don't have all the answers;
But yet,
letting you know that
you are safer here.
Amongst those who also call it home,
you are able to find a release,
some answers,
and much need friendships
that you have never had before.
What do you do now?
Do you submerge yourself into the darkness,
trusting that it cannot possibly
be worse than the light?
Or do you take caution
and proceed slowly?
Or, is running the option
that you choose?
Take my hand and walk with me,
as I tell you my story.
Bleed with me,
and engulf yourself
into my life,
my existence...
Pondering?

This was a great poem people should really look into them selfs and not hid from the world thanks for reading more of my work so far from what I have seen you are a really good poet yourself thanks again lots of love SH

This poem was heartfelt and intense, feeling as if it was wrapped in deceptively soft words, hiding inside it a world of grief. Sometimes (maybe quite often even) we need impulses from the outside that have the power to change our life, allow us to walk in directions that differ from the hollow paths we used to walk. Perhaps this information may do that for you:

It expounds on the power of our thoughts, which is tremendous and only outside of the scope of our awareness, because other who had less altruistic intentions with our minds, intended us to be clueless to what power we have inside of us. Thank you for creating and sharing and you comment on my work. It is gratefully appreciated. Take care,

This would be OK except for the "bleed" part. I don't go for that.

In this sense bleed is merely used as a metaphor. I mean basically to feel my pain with me.
