When anguish surounds me
and my mind is shielded from reason,
I seperate myself from all existence
and cry alone.
When somber moments
follow fruitfull gains,
I exit from reality,
and cry alone.
When faceless friends turn
and draw me down,
I reach out for silence
and cry alone.
When pursuing dreams vanish
and wither away,
I undress my pride
and cry alone.
When I shower in success
yet drown in my illusions,
I get drenched in pain
and cry alone.
When I loan out my heart,
and it crumbles to dust,
I begin to dissolve
and cry alone.
I look back at my life,
because there's no looking ahead,
so, as always, Il'l continue
to cry alone.
one needs to love themselves first

Tears are healers of the wounds of the soul deep and yet unseen they are not asign of weakness but interpreted as such by the world it is only natural to cry in pain or grief or even in great ecstasy.Very often a good cry can lighten the burden of agrieving heart as nothing else can as they roll down burning cheeks from eyes akin to deep pools they take the sorrow burried in the deep recesses out and the venom coming out results in healing of the soul.The words though simple paint adelightful picture of pain and tears and disappointments.the intensity and depth of honest emotions is evident in every written word.Thanks for sharing and take care,keep sharing always...

this is very sad almost had me in tears

I agree with your author's note; we need to love ourselves before we can truly love another. I grew up between two brothers and never did cry easily or well, nor was I ever inspired to do so in front of others. If the tears fell, I was always alone.

Well, I can truely relate to this poem, one of the wonderful things about this poem is that we all can relate to it. The time we spend in the silence of our own tears would fill a whole nother world of sorrow. This is a great poem, very lovely.

This is beautiful. It is true we need to love ourselves first before anyone else can, however the feeling I got from this poem was that no matter how many people surround us, we are ultimately alone. Nicely penned.

To me this is a very powerful, thought provoking poem. one that goes deep within one's soul and hits hard. This was one lesson that I learned, but it took me quite a long time to finally figure it out, and yes honestly I still have moments when I falter. loving one's self if often hard to do, it can be done, but from my own experience it's taken me over 39 yrs to do so. I finally learned to love me through the encouragement and positive affirmations from my friends and yes through God. though like I said, I have days that I falter and that I don't "love" me for whatever reason, but I know in my soul that God loves me and that is enough to get me through that moment and through that day.
You've got an amazing gift.
Thank you for sharing your poetry

I also enjoyed reading this alot. Wonderful choice of words in evey stanza that just make the poem more powerful as it goes on. My favorite parts are...undress my pride, then shower in success, clever Very nice write. Thanks for the comment on mine, too and welcome to AP!

John,
Very true! One does need to love themselves first, but you know, sometimes when you have been through all I have, or a few others I know, it is hard to do that. But still you must try some anyways. You really did a great job on this one! I love it!
and love

Oh, wow... this is one of those poems that I can honestly say, " I wished I had written this one!"
I could feel every single word within this write, as if I had written it. You did a remarkable job with this one John.
You are asking if we were to revise this what would we do... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
I love it just as it is written!
