There are stones on my soul holding me back,
Evils are lurking in silent attack.
Burdens of sorrow, heartbreak and wrong,
Silent as time all the daylong.
Burdens of stress, anger and hate,
Constantly pulling double my weight.
There are stones on my soul holding me down,
I can’t seem to breathe I’m starting to drown.
Burdens of silence, troubles unspoken,
Too many things are chaotic and broken.
So much rage! ‘gainst myself and all others,
A blanket of pain chokingly smothers.
A cemetery heart can’t understand,
What happened to god? And a helping hand?
What happened to people? They’re so heartless and cruel,
They say the drugs got me I’m a sucker    a fool.
Why’d this happen to me? What have I done!?!
To deserve all of this, am I the only one?
I’m dying each day, it’s simple you see,
The stones on my soul are murdering me.

" How can i feel if i can't breathe...?"
- Godsmack

Yet again, I'm impressed.
I loved these lines:
"Burdens of stress, anger and hate,
Constantly pulling double my weight."
And the last one caught my eye as well.

So far I'm very much liking what I'm seeing.
Keep 'em coming.

Awesome! I read your first one and came directly to the second. This one is awesome. I can relate so much to this poem. I really like your work. I have never put a poem in my library from someone that is so new, but I am going to because I am really impressed. Good job

I really liked this one. Well done here.  

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

Incredible...your flow was superb, and the rhymes were nicely done. You had a great dark mood within this poem and it added a little chill to it. Your meter was excellent as well.
You have such a wonderful talent. I hope to see much more from you!
