What's the meaning in life,
When you've lost everything?
Why do we keep trying,
When it doesn't help?
Does anyone care?
I try and I try,
Does anyone notice?
Faint in the world,
Lost and dead to everyone.
Sins of the past.
Is Forgiveness in the future?
A light burns in the dark,
Blind to it and the rest of the world.
Is this my future?
Locked behind bars?
No, I've got keep trying,
Trying to fit in with the rest of the world.
To change my mistakes of the past,
To be pure against the darkness,
To be bright once more.

Great poem midnightdreamer.  I would just suggest instead of putting "To be bright once more" at the end of your poem, putting "To be bright once again."  I don't know, it's just a suggestion.  Thanx for commenting on my poem.  Welcome to PiP and hope to hear more from you soon.

Cool poem, not really dark, but reflective nonetheless. The title should be about the situation going either way, lest it be positive or negative, like a spectrum or a balance beam.

midnightdreamer...Enjoyed the poem.
As for a title maybe "From Darkness Light Comes" or "Darkness from Within" just a couple of suggestions...Paul

First off let me say thank you for commenting on my work i really appreciate it midnightdreamer, i really enjoyed this piece, it might be just me, but i see this as questioning reality itself and i thoroughly enjoy the idea, as a title i would suggest something along the lines of "Doubtful truths"

you watched me bleed you watched me die you watched me not even a bat of your eye

I didn't write this about me. i wrote it about my sister. i got really mad and i almost was sure i was crazy. i try to control myself to keep myself from hurting my brother and my mom. emotionaly i mean.  i hate hurting them for they have a wonderful life and i feel like i'm just bring pain to their lives.

Midnightdreamer..... it makes me so sad to see someone young and talented residing in such a desolate space in their head. I've read some of your posts in Kate's poems and it breaks my heart. But the fact that you said that you can't change who you are and wouldn't want to makes me happy. We are who we were made to be.... nothing more and nothing less. You're a talented writer and you can release all of your frustration on paper through words. Keep up the good work, doll!

She past you, but doesn't notice you.
Drained from emotion
she waits till death grasps her.
She faces it with no feat but rather welcomes it.

Hey, very nice write.  I have to agree that everyone's title suggestions so far have been great but what immediately popped into my head was "Preserverence"
