The world I live in
Is cruel and unforgiving
I'm so cold and lonely
Trapped in the utter darkness
Of my own mind
I ask for a hand in need but
No one's around to lend a hand
I wish for a friend to talk to but
My anger drives them all away
So I remain lonely and
Still do today
Every breath I take is full of stress
I can't escape this pain that dwells in my chest
A rest is all I ask for, yet it lingers deep inside
There's nowhere left to hide
Waiting for it's to subside but
There's no way out
My patience has died
Am I still better off alone?
The loneliness has killed me
Deep down inside
My heart has turned to sorrow and despair
I wish to be healed but
There's no one up for the job
My mind is slowly going insane
The feeling of being alone
Brings me to tears every day
I hide my sorrow and pain
Deep inside my heart and
Lock all the doors
So no one can find the keys to
My broken soulless heart of mine
Growing tired of the emptiness of which I am bound
I wander to find salvation,
So many years have I sat back and watched you
Fighting off temptation
Your beauty knows no limits with a soul so pure and clear
Yet mine so tainted and damaged
I protect you out of fear and
Force myself to disappear
As I watch you fade away
Your kindness and love
Start to sink
Into my soul and heart
As your soft touching words of kindness and
Friendly smile mends
My broken heart slowly
Retrieving all the shattered pieces
Of my heart
Slowly growing back together
I call out to the shadows and
Soul takers of the night
Making you appear once again
I slowly take your hand and
Share my love and sweet touch
Into your heart and
Take away your despair and sorrow
The hidden in your eyes and
Making them pure and innocent
So regardless of my attempts to make things right
I always end up losing the fight and you
Leave me once again
wondering if you'll return for
It’s your love I yearn as
I approach my inevitable end
As I disappear from your heart and mind
My love for you calls me deep inside
Tells me I should find you and
Return to cure you and make you whole once more and
Lift you from your hate and despair
As the sorrow sinks into
My heart longs to find you but
Is it too late now?
Are you already gone and lost in the mist
Of your dreadful mind of yours?
As I shed tears from my eyes
Wishing you could be
In my arms again
I miss your touch but
I know I set you free
Now you feel no more
Pain or sorrow
Now that I know you’re free
I feel no more
Pain or sorrow
My heart begins to fill
With delight and happiness
As we share the love we become
Free from the sorrow and shadows
That sucked us in for
All these years but
When will it really end?

I really like your poem. It was my pleasure to read it. Unfortunatly, you did not follow my rules. I only wanted poems that had gold or silver trophies. I love your title though. Your title fascinates me though. Keep on writing. Love and Peace!

I actually love this poem its very moving and sad

[trap] meant to be *trapped*?
the last line of the third stanza is so bitter it pushes on sarcasm.
(turn) *turned*?
nice imagery and good vocab.
amazing poem=] -
very nice and very emotional. Yes, anger can destroy everything it touches. But know that it can be cured. It can be healed. Love heals all wounds. All you need do is find something that means more to you than your anger. This is a very good and interesting write. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for entering it into my contest.

This could be more than one poem. Lonliness and dispair are keenly felt by the reader making them want to reach out and help. Sadness permeates each stanza. Thank you for the entry. (now I want to hang myself lol)
