My Souls Hunger Pains


I am but a speck of sand on the
scales of time yet
supposedly have value and merit,
I find this too not
weigh right in my mind.

I alone hear my souls out cries
of pain and despair,
but nobody else can hear my pleas.

I alone see and understand how
this world effects me,
but nobody else even tries to
understand.

I alone cast no measurable shadow
upon this earth for if
I did, I would see some measurable
advancement in my life.

Others say you have achieved
much, your value is
priceless, but I am not convinced
my soul does not
feel satisfied.

I find my value lost to me,
and do not know were to look for it.  

There are those that pass me in
time and think they
have left a mark for me to dwell
upon or to reach for,
but I of yet have not found one
that did not hurt
the essence of me, these souls that
claim to have it all.

There’s claim that happiness is a
real prospect and
everybody is granted some portion.

There must be something im missing,
or do not understand,
for I truly wish for more than this.

Were do I go or whom do I speak
to be dealt my
fair share so my souls hunger pains
may diminish.

Cerenity,

i really like your poem. It has a theme i sometimes pursue when writing. But, well, noone could say it better than your first stanza. Just beautiful. I hope your hunger pains cease, and that you are fed soon. ilph.

Oh, I know this feeling. Please know that you are very valuable. It sounds like you are searching for yourself, as I am. I hope you can find what you need, its no easy task. Lovely poem.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you so much for all of your kind words in reguards to this poem, I did not feel good about posting it because it is depressing, in the world you for the most part can not show how you feel or at least around here but some times I feel like my poetry that mostly is posted in open is a fabrication or not suited at the time because of how I feel. Searching what a BIG word the thing I find the hardest is that do we ever get through with this finding our selves or knowing what we want are do we just get tierd ? and then just settle for what we have gained from that point? anyway thank you again and most of you I have to welcome to passions it is so nice to have you here and I will look for your poetry as well, be seeing you.

Love, Cerenity

~cerenity,
wow. this poem is fantastic. my eyes grew wider with every stanza.
your command of language seems to be so natural. i envy this in you, but also, and most prodominently, admire this.

'but I of yet have not found one
that did not hurt
the essence of me, these souls that
claim to have it all.'


once agin, wow.

Soul searching *sigh*.  We all must do it from time to time, so we can better ourselves emotionally.  I too, have done my share of searching, it hurts but hopefully from it comes so more good.  Those that fail to understand or see the 'real' you aren't worth wasting your time on..they probably haven't even searched for themselves.
I can read enough between the lines to see you are a person of worth, someone I'd happily get to know.  I think you need a *hug* and some positive reinforcement hon.  An easy little thing to do is 10 minutes each morning before work or your day etc.  think about yourself, focus on yourself and list some good attributes about you, find a few bad ones, and try to make amends....
Your journey has only begun - good luck and I hope you find your peace and realise just how special you are
