You stand on a high ledge
as your painfilled heart bled...
The quiet chill below,
everyone unaware of things overhead
You close your rueful eyes
and clench your teeth
the icy wind biting
at the bare skin beneath
Your vision sways
and you feel strangely bereft...
watching the world around you
that would soon be left
Of all the darkness that had
haunted you each night
Afraid, weak, small
You had found light...
You lift your arms to the
clear sky, with a look
so full of longing
impossible to have been mistook
Your department would leave
little trace in this world
for no one knew you even
existed, impearled...
You'd been ignored, abused,
deceived, and broke...
while you hid in the dark corner,
your pain constantly revoked
As you plunged into the sky
you felt a twinge of remorse
A nostalgic feeling...
arousing in your hidden coarse
But you laugh sadly,
and reach out with your arms,
for the first time...
feeling accepted
You fell rapidly, with your arms
outstretched in embrace,
like wings long forgotten
with scars of disgrace
You fell even further down,
but you felt evermore higher,
and higher...
where freedom beckoned
...
The next day, your frail body
was found on the streets
I saw the small, sad smile
still on your pale face...
and your soul...?
It'd left without a trace
You had no funeral, no bless,
No one to grieve you, or remember you
But you did leave a single thing in this world
...a single tear

Hey guys! i finally wrote a poem. Sorry if it's all depressing, but I'm not in my best mood right now. I've gotten a bit rusty over the 'looooooong' poem break i took.

Glad you FINALLY WROTE A POEM! It's been 4 months since your last!
Anyhow, as I've told you before, you should practice rhyming more often, or write in free verse, which I believe you are more skillful at. Also, your rhythm is choppy. The ending is pretty good.
