Who am I
When you look through me
To those beyond me standing
I’m no one,
No reason to be
So off I go just shambling
Useless flesh
That people can’t see
Gone into shadow hiding,
This pale mess
Lacking of beauty
Alone in time just abiding.

Gloom

Dear Professor Gloom you wrote a very touching piece here ... very impressive.
There are such days when we feel invisible, just when we need more warmth than usual ...
Cheer up and try to spot those who feel like this and be the first to look into their eyes and smile ...
Love, Margherita

Professor,
Well that's about as gloomy as you can get.
Did you have a bad night? We all love you.

Thank you, Margherita,
I tend to be invisible, even when seen, not noticed,
I’m sure there are others I have not notice also
Seeing only their shadows in passing

Thank you, Whiskey,
Pleased you enjoyed

Thank you, Seymour,
The nights are not so bad,
Even my nightmares are a comfort of sorts
It’s the days, when light shines on the void that I am.
I appreciate your kindness of words

Gloom, I wish that I could give you a comforting reply like Sy's...and yes I do agree with his.  But, on the other hand, your dark is my dark, I relate to your words more than I can express, although each case is different.  This touched the emotion within that I still have left.  Well written~

Gloomy, yes, but that is how we perhaps all feel at one time or another...though the gloom is only within us...

...but so is the Light. Let it illuminate us.

Awww Gloom, I feel sorry for those who "look straight through you." For these are the ones who are blind to your brightness and your giving heart. Too bad for them. Your words touched me deeply. Chris

Sheesh Gloomy,

From your reply to Sy it sounds like if you'd bite someone's neck they'd be yours forever...

Love your gloomy writing......and you manage to cause me to think!

So talented you are!!!

Hugs, Pat

Thank you, Honeybee,
You are very kind to respond,
And Seymour has an excellence way with words
But yours convey pleasant emotional response also.

Thank you, CastleGuard,
Perhaps light is within most,
But most of my filling is shadow and darkness

Thank you, Nightshade,
You are kind to notice me with your response,
These days most people are too busy to notice
Too involved with daily life to be touched
You honor me with your words.

Thank you, regards2you,
If it were so easy I’d sharpen my teeth,
I am pleased to have given you some enjoyment
And thoughts.

Gloom

regards2you

Professor,

My reply has not come up yet for editing purposes and I just read another of your poems...

I need to apologize and realized too late I should never suppose anything re: poems written...I beg your pardon for my insensitivity..

Heart hugs, Pat
