BEDTIME

Everything's deadly white
Cold as silence
Dark as night
Nothing's quite what it seems
I'm trying to find the words
To explain to you
How it is, how it feels
But confused and misled
I'm just lying in bed
Staring at the roof
To young to die
To obsolete to live

Further and further
Away from reality I slip
Asleep I dream of you
Meeting me with arms outstretched
Loving me without a doubt
If only I could stay
In my subconsciousness forever
Exploring, exploiting my mind
But I always awake
Writhing I enter the world again
And lose face to thriving agony
It throws me back
Into the arms of life again
But yet so dead
I tremble in bed

Upon reading your poem, tears welled up in my eyes. The best poetry is the poems that cause the reader to be so overwhelmed with emotions that they simply cannot contain themselves. I can tell you now, that I honestly loved your poem. Although I think now I need to buy some more tissues!!!!!!
keep growing and writting!!!

Broken- beautiful, sad, touching... you've left me at a loss for words great poem!! ((((HUGZ)))) as long as we don't give up n hope things will get better ... don't give up   hang in there !!!  


 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

'But yet I'm dead!'  Kinda how I am feeling today, just like a robot going through the motions.  Great piece

Wow...this is a gripping poem.  I've heard of people being dead in bed before but this took the saying to a whole new level.  Loved it.

so well written...it had me till the end...
often feel like that at night...

from which evolves the light...

Broken, this is great, this path is wide, it has been walked before,
and they made it to the top, so can we.
Again great. moving.
