Oh, solemn silence, why do you haunt me so?
What wrong have I done
To deserve this emptiness?
Why do you bring me such sorrow?
Left alone, in the recesses of thought
Hurtful remarks, the scars that burn
Crushing blows of failure never cease
As I weep myself into a dreamless slumber

I like how much emotion you've captured in such a short poem. Very concise language.

Ah... I have located the angst, oh yes I have! And I -like- it. This doesn't come across as the typical "oh woe is my I'm so depressed" crap you generally find with such poems. It has a more realistic emotion to it, that I think most people can key in on, and relate to. It jumps off the page. You did a very good job here, and I hope at the time it helped to cope with the feeling
Ah, the creative outlet that is poetry! Pen on~
