living somewhere between
shattered hopes and broken dreams
always waking up to my own screams

living in a never-ending night
never experienced any fun
tired of being the only one

living in my little shell
afraid of the outside
loneliness seems to be my bride

a broken life is hard to bear
suicide seems to be the easy way out
but for this
i am too proud


how will i laugh tomorrow
when i can't even smile today

I can relate to this poem, with every line and each word.

Great work.

Wow. I'm impressed that you could work so well with a foreign language. I've often thought of doing so, but decided that I would never be able to master word play in another language well enough to satisfy myself, or come even close to what native-speakers could accomplish. You've done so, however, and for that, I give you my acclaim.

As for this particular piece, I'm fond of the first stanza, but the rest doesn't strike as deep a chord. I don't think it's the phrasing, either. It's more due to the fact that I've heard those things before, so they've lost their impact.
