"Empty Comfort"

When you're angry and don't know why
Then you'll understand
When you wonder what's so bad about being high
Then you'll understand
When you think you're not worth being sad
Then you'll understand
When you wonder why you're mad
Maybe you'll understand
Or if you look back on your life and lose all hope
Maybe you'll understand
And when you can't deal with life and forget how to cope
Maybe you'll understand
When you think about ending your life
Tell me you understand
When you look to your wrist then to the knife
Tell me you understand
When you want to talk with god but forget the number to dial
Tell me you understand
When you're searching for a place where you can have your own style
You might understand
When you don't know how to feel or what to think
You might understand
And if you throw away your world and drown it in a drink
You might understand

"Happiness is nothing without the contrast of sadness" -ME!

True.  Good poem.  It's hard to believe others when they say they understand.  The truth is they prolly DON'T fully understand but their intentions are still the same, and I find comfort in that.  
Good poem,
Jason

ps I like your quote.  very true.
pss for some one who said he is not concerned with style, you made another unique piece here.  Actually that makes perfect sense.  Anyhow I'm rambling...

Don't know how many times I'm aloud to reply to my own stuff but just to inform people my screen name isn't literall, myself and a few other viewed some of my earlier work and we all thought it so twisted that either I was insane or on hallucinogens when writing them...simple story for a complex mind anyways thanx for readin my poem.

Well this has me thinking too.  It is written in a great way, it's a strongly worded poem.

Poet on Acid..I love you! I read your poems and get chills because.. it sounds like.. ME! The thoughts I cant express in my head are the poems you write, the way I feel is what you say. Keep writing I love them

awww I'm loved, DAMN IT! so much for the dark part of me where I draw my inspiration from...well thank you for ruining what could have been one of the greatest writers of all time. <<<*J/K*>>> actually thank you alot, I like knowing someone is getting something out of my work, and don't worry about getting more...I have notebooks full of them...(shhh...they're mostly filled with doodles...)

This made me cry.  It was so sad and so true.  That's exactly how I feel (somtimes).  But if u think bout it, a lot of teenagers feel that way...it's just somtimes embarressing to talk about it because you think no one else goes through the same thing.  Wonderful poem!

thanks you lilpoet, though I didn't want to make anyone cry...But I know that knowing that someone else has the same things running through their mind as you do and that someone feels the same things you do can help you feel better alot of times.
