living

i set myself goals
make it to sunday
then make it to staurday
then to christmas

waiting

i need motivation
once the days finished
you'll be alone
i tell myself

dying

i hide
i crawl into the corner
you banish me there
i want to scream in your face

living

i try so hard
to make it through a week
of being around you
i hate you

waiting

you used to be mine
now you belong to anyone
but me
its killing me

dying


nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.

I sat here for a full ten minutes, thinking of a reply. I still can't write one. I hope you make it till the end, girl, it wouldn't be right without you.
"You should have told me. Seemed like an ordinary day. Everything seemed to be ok. Did it hurt you? Here are the scars you never show. She is a firesign you know. One day a year, and then you go."
That song makes me cry. I love you, don't forget that. Sigh. Great poem.

man soph...your poems cut right into people's hearts. they are so filled with the ready emotional pain you are feeling.

its so sad...its like everyone is living in all this pain, and no one even notices. its just a dying world of unnoticed pain.

awesome poem, loved it.

Lots of love,

Great read, I really like the structure of your poem.  It keeps it simple when you are describing complicated emotions.  Thanks for sharing.

If you want some feedback, I think the only issue you had was a mispelling "saturday".

Great Job!

I hope that what ever is spearing you will pass in quick time.

"And now I find the future's gone;
The reasons that I had to carry on,
Are gone.
I cried for it all,
You never heard me call
At all." (Lord Graham Russell)

Why is misery so excessive?

This was a depressing poem, but very unique
& very refreshing in its form.
Makes me like it, makes me hate it,
Makes me like it...

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm"

i hate being banished there.
the only thing i'd add for myself is somewhere between waiting and dying would be choking, gasping, praying, sinking, damning, begging, hoping, crying, denying
and then.
too goood, darkness_witch.

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.
