Searching…  


for something that may never be found
without knowing what for
in hopes that may deceive
for anything that will help me

Lost to the world at all times
Searching for something that may never be mine
Always hoping to find something real
Just falling farther into the darkness

Constantly surrounded by family and friends
Who’s thoughts and concerns matter not in the end
Losing myself all the time
Says the scattered pieces of my mind

Never known as who you really are
Not even knowing for yourself
Hoping that eventually you will find out
Doubting the possibility of it at the same time
Just praying for it to soothe my mind

Still searching all the time
Hoping one day to find something more
Hoping that beyond all this nonsense
there will be anything worth this thought
Never believing it for more than a moment


Hope remains buried in the shadows
Despite all that is dreaded in this life
Constantly screaming in the mind
Falling apart everyday
Yet even still I continue to pray
Hoping eventually this will all be worth it
This depression seems endless and gets worse all the time
With all the bad in the world there seems like no space
For anything good to be left at all
Everything that is left seems corrupted and evil
Especially this poem that I write with a demon
The continuous searching seems meaningless now
Covered in darkness all around
There is no light that will ever be found

Hi Mike - It's nice to see you back.  I'm betting you've changed a bit since this photo, eh?

Did you know that this forum exists because your dad said we really needed it?

Your work is very good, as is his - Shining through Darkness, as he'd say.  Bring us more, could you please?

This was very well written and I think we all can relate as we have all been somewhere close to this at some point in our lives.
