Standing In Silence...

I am no one.
I have nothing left.

Where does one go,
When you have no place,
To call home?
Who does one turn to,
When everyone has simply,
Turned their backs on you?

Don’t you dare,
Preach to me,
About my mistakes!
I know what they are,
I know what I’ve done,
I’m not proud of myself.

I am no one.
I’ve lost everything.

There is nothing here,
Left to comfort me,
In this darkened room.
I choke down these tears,
And lay myself down to sleep,
Since no one else will…

I bottle up my pain,
And hide from the world,
Never accepting hope.
My heart was not strong enough,
To make it through the change,
After I lost everything.

I am nothing.

i would really like to see you expand into the realm of deep imagery. while your poems aren't bad, they are kinda all the same. when i read them there is nothing that goes !BAM! that is my only suggestion from now on.

This one speaks to me. Because I felt your pain.
But the subject of your pain was so vague and like alex said there was no imagery to back up your words.
So it becomes sort of bland.
There is great potential though.

The main reason I don't normally use imagery in my writing, is if you haven't noticed, some people tend to OVERuse imagery, and it makes their poem turn to crap, and plus...when I write something, I don't usually THINK about what I'm writing, it just comes out.
