Greetings to my old friend, pain
The decending darkness, back again
Pins and needles down my spine
Body aching from life's design
The light has never known my name
'though others helped, only me to blame
Hell is life, here on Earth
It's been this way, since my birth

I scream out a silent prayer
"Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!"
Although I try to stand in the light
Against past demons, I lose my fight
I am drowning in despair
Grasping, gasping, just for air
Again I scream my silent prayer
"Help me please! I'll do better, I swear!"

Life and all it's misery, keeps rushing on ahead
I strive to keep up but may as well take to bed
This life has exhausted me and taken all my light
All that remains of me is my smile and caustic bite
Some think I'm bitter but this is not the case
I am just a realist, my experiences, my base
Those who've only seen the light, will never understand
Their eyes can't adjust, to the twilight of this dark land

I scream out a silent prayer
"Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!"
Although I try to stand in the light
Against past demons, I lose my fight
I am drowning in despair
Grasping, gasping, just for air
Again I scream my silent prayer
"Help me please! I'll do better, I swear!"

I'm a wild animal, thrown in a cage
The madness growing, along with my age
The years, they fly but the days, they drag
Work and life's necessities, nothing but a blag
Pain and sadness are all around
Life's idiosyncrasies, grinding us into the ground
People smiling, they think I don't see
I know they are lying but this is how it must be

I scream out a silent prayer
"Help me please! I'll be good, I swear!"
Although I try to stand in the light
Against past demons, I lose my fight
I am drowning in despair
Grasping, gasping, just for air
Again I scream my silent prayer
"Help me please, I'll do better, I swear!"

This was written a little over 18 months ago - I was stuck in a dead-end job and there were a lot of other things going on.

About 6-months after this, I was successful at getting a challenging and rewarding job, with people who both understood me and respected me. It really is surprising how quickly it can all turn around!

This is really good. It is the type of poem that you remember and connect to. Good job.
