On the edge of an abyss

0 posted 2006-06-27 02:59 AM


Alone and frightened
in a world of doubt
Too painful to stay
yet, too hard to get out

Bound by choices
made wild in youth
Forced to live lies
instead of the truth

Sometimes it seems
there's just no way
To end this deception
I live day to day

To break free of this life
to follow my heart
Would mean other hearts broken
and lives torn apart

And the guilt I would carry
would cut like a knife
Til I gave up my dream
and maybe, my life...

At this present time in my life.....this description of life is very real to me.

"To break free of this life
to follow my heart
Would mean other hearts broken
and lives torn apart

And the guilt I would carry
would cut like a knife
Til I gave up my dream
and maybe, my life..."

Great write...!!

The torment/pain of not being true to yourself lasts much longer than Love lost (in my experience). True poem, great write :)

A very true poem. I know exactly how you felt when you wrote this! keep up the good work!

hells gate reads Abandon hope all ye that enter here
shall we go?
the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Will you walk with me?

This poem is one of the best I’ve ever seen in dark, I believe.
Although, that could be because I can relate to this poem in so many different levels…

Good write by you, I loved it

Sometimes it's impossible to be true to yourself without sacrificing the ones you need to protect. It's a very difficult situation to be in.

angel , it sounds like you need someone to talk to. Someone who can help you. I hope you find that person.
