I wrote a little poem today,
And this is how it goes.
It shows another side of me,
That no one really knows.

There's emptiness inside of me,
That I may never fill.
And loneliness that comes with age,
Is such a bitter pill.

My shattered soul; my broken heart,
These feelings that I feel.
As time goes by, I will live,
But I know I'll never heal.

As time goes by, I've realized,
That I'm at last alone.
My feelings just get harder,
Like motar, brick and stone.

The hardness of my mind is worse,
It brings the tears that stream.
Outside I feel the silence,
Inside I hear the scream.

I never would of thought of this,
If you've asked me early on.
I always thought there'd be someone,
Now all of them are gone.

So I wrote a little poem today,
To let the pain escape.
I don't know, just how much more,
I can really take.

very nice little poem indeed, thankfully we have poetry to express our emotions instead of holding them all inside

Darla,
Sorry hon, I now see what you meant about twice.  I thought you meant it posted twice in the forum list.  Sorry about that, but all fixed now.
This is a sad little piece, we've all felt this way at one time, and poetry is always wonderful to help vent!!

this "little" poem is HUGE on emotion...very well written...great rhyme flow...
and there is no better release than our writing...take care, jm

Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...
