WHO AM I?

Lost in a world all of my own.
Different from anyone else,
in a way unknown.
What is my purpose for being?
Why am I still here?
My life is nothing but torture,
a world filled completely of fear.
Few reasons left for living,
but at least they keep me alive.
If I never had them here,
how could I possibly survive?
Attempts toward death,
but in one last second,
thoughts of those I might have left.
Surrounded by darkness,
living life blind.
Can't get rid of the past,
that should've been left behind.
So who am I,
& why am I here?
Please show me the way,
& make my path clear!

~Never kiss a fool, & never let a kiss fool you!~

~If you love somebody don't write their name in a heart. Hearts can be broken. Write it in a circle, 'cuz circles are neverending!~

LOVE ELMO
<3

Wow, that poem was very deep. I can relate to that sometimes. The way I feel can be unbearable, and that poem pretty much sums it up. I love your style. Thanks for sharing!

Everybody goes through this at some point in their life, and you've done a good job of putting it into words.  Great poem

It's a great poem- but is it about you?  I hope not.  If nothing else, remember that people love you and would be hurt if you were gone.  As far as your world, I can relate to a point.  But keep writing, and keep smiling!!!

qtpieelmo ~ I think almost everybody in a way can relate to what you said in on onoe level or another.  I agree with MelissaL in saying that this poem was really deep.  It was. You captured in words what it feels like to be lost and alone with yourself.  Good work. ~ Emma

"my love is my motivation
my love is my inspiration
perception of this poem
is your interpretation"
