My mind wanders aimlessly in fogged clouds
What happened to yesterday?
The darkness consumes me-
Following my every move as I move through the past.
Weight of the world crashes upon me-
I can’t think straight or continue on.
What happened to the smiles?
Now the tears flow freely down my cheeks,
And I remain silent.
Watching everything tumble down around me-
I try to move forward-
Only to be pulled back.
What happened to the laughter?
I scream out inside-
Burning my throat.
My heart falls apart into a million pieces-
Shattering loudly like glass hitting stone.
The clouds overwhelm me,
Blurring my vision.
Fear stabs at me-
Keeping my emotions numb,
I was once alive- now I just survive.
I try to force fake happiness-
But it hardly shows.
I am empty and cold-
Hidden away my emotions are;
And I remain silent.

Fabulous Poem
I read this splendid poem before but I guess I didn't leave a comment. I must have been called away, or something. But this poem is one of the best I've read on AllPoetry. It has so many wonderful layers that depict wonderful images, memories of laughter now gone, and sadness that now seems to prevail. I'm sure a great many people can relate to the experience you've described here so very well. This is a very compelling poem.
