So overwhelmed
No really, I've lost it.
My head's searing with pain.
With no clue what caused it.
Nothing makes sense
I'm alive but not living.
I try to pretend
But they all know I'm fibbing.
I'm trapped in this body
Trapped in this mind.
Just quit trying to help
Just leave me behind.
There's nothing left for me
It's all gone awry
Each time my heart beats
I just wonder "why?"
What am I living for?
All I have left is pain
The more I try to get rid of it
The more that I gain.
I try to explain
Just to get it all out
But I'm just left with more uncertainty
Left with more doubt.
So I stop and apologize
Fake that it's my fault
To try and stop the madness
Bring it all to a hault.
So of course that helps everyone.
Everyone but myself.
I'm left like a forgotten
toy on the shelf.
My tears fill with liquid
That I know all too well
I'm just trapped in this
undeniably, penetrating hell.
It has no forseeable end
I'm stuck in this trap
With all of these problems
and all these mishaps.
What did I do to deserve this?
I've always tried to do right
But joy has left me like
a string cut off from a kite.
What's the point of this?
I'm forever lost in this place
I'm just left with a heart
Full of empty space.

this poem kind of seems to wander around, directionless, but i guess thats how rants should be. just getting out everything no matter how long it takes or which way it takes you.
im glad you were able to get it out on... keyboard.... or whatever. because at least its out there now.
great rhyme, great rhythm... well done ^_^

hey there once again! this is just amazing like your last one! I really like the 5th stanza, ha and I think I know what this is about. And I think you portrayed your situation quite well. and dude harsh poetry is the best! its like full of raw emotion. It takes a real poet to write like that. Good job my friend! keep it up.

Awesome
This is a truly awesome poem, don't worry, it's not the harshest I've seen! I really like the stanza:
" My tears fill with liquid
That I know all too well
I'm just trapped in this
undeniably, penetrating hell."
Anyway, this is a very well-written poem, I could feel all of its emotion as I read it. I've felt like that too, it just sucks,you know? Hard to explain, but you did clearly! Great write overall, keep it up!
