I wrote this poem my 1st night in a  four month residential drug treatment center**

I lay here in a warm bed, yet in a cold room
A room filled with mixed emotions
Emotions I cannot begin to figure out
Why have I been put on this Earth?
Has God yet put me to use in this insane place we all call home?
Where will I find the light that I have been seeking all of my life?
When will the love reach me, and where will the darkness end?

Hmm... An interesting poem...
You are in despair about the rest of your life, whether or not you will ever find love, and lose all of your problems.
Why have you been put on this earth?  I can't answer that, but I can say that you weren't PUT here for a reason:  your reason for being comes to you as you grow older.  Give it time.
Wonderful poem, made me think.
-Allan


Eternal life without the darkness isn't life at all- it is a lobotomy.

the idea that you were put on the planet for a specific purpose is a rather selfish american view of the world. (I rather like being a selfish american but whatever) anyways to find your 'reason for being' you can only look inside yourself for that. Anyways great poem, I better see more

Ain't life confusing?
Well I understand the feeling of being depressed and withering within your own introspection. Nice one here though, hope your puzzle connects in the end.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Better late than never, huh Lake??   I'll join the club!!
This poem was very hard-hitting. I definitly detected strong emotions here. I hope this time in your life has passed, and it's a little better.
