You make me feel ugly and alone,
You make me feel useless and dumb,
You make me feel like a boil on the butt of humanity,
You make me feel emotionally numb.

Can't I sing again,
Can't I shine?
Don't I have hopes and feelings?
I for one do not waste time.

New experiences, always something new,
For you,
For me, it's the same old nothing,
Nowhere to go, nothing special to do.

You want to be the one who shines,
Whilst inside my light is flickering,
You crave attention and being in the spotlight,
Will I ever see an end to your bickering?

I can't let you kill it,
All the good that I possess,
My inner light will shine for eternity,
While you wear your silly headress.

Your inner self in obvious,
People do see the truth,
A soul built of lies and fantasy,
Not pure since your youth.


 The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there IS to celebrate.

I absolutely loved this poem! I know how you feel. It ended 2 years ago after 4 years of feeling that way. I'm still trying to get the light back to it's original brightness. Slowly and surely it will get there.
Anyway, great poem!

Danni, thanks so much for your thoughts and responding.  The Dark Forum is SO quiet lately, I can hear and feel a pin drop

I have to agree with you, Isis. The first time I posted a poem, it was raining responses, now it's a bit dry. Sometimes I feel bothered, because before I post a poem I have to edit it a million times, so as not to disappoint the poets. I feel that they don't like my poetry when they do not respond..

Anyway, it's really touching and all, very realistic. Keep 'em coming!

There is no more coming back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've cast the lifeblood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn

Isis,
     this is beautiful. . . if men only knew how they make the women in their lives suffer with comments that make them feel this way. . .

Thank you for sharing my friend. . .

And I will have more to share with those who call the dark home. . .

Singers of sorrow, children of the dark, let your voice be heard!

I can't help but tell you how awesome that poem was!  My favorite was the, "boil on the butt of humanity".  You are so creative.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks SD and welcome back, we missed you.
Jaguar, people not responding to your poem does not mean they don't like it, many sometimes read it and move on.  Truly it's nothing personal ok?

Those taking up the spotlight, always getting the attention, usualy don't stop to rejuvinate (spelled right?) their souls.

  And I doubt such shallowness ever leads to the beautiful poetry that comes out of you, Isis, and all other Passion Poets.  
Your light shines every time you write a poem that comes straight from the heart.

You should NEVER let anyone dim that light inside you, Isis.  Somehow, I don't think you will, either.  Great job.

Intensely vivid in it's rebellion of the psyche. I basked in it's reality and was also saddened by that very same reality.

One of the poets here said, something to the effect that, men don't know what women feel. Maybe so , although I prefer to at least hope not. Men however, can also be in the same situations and have the same feeling of, for the lack of a better word, hopelessness.

Mine ended one year ago, after 13 years. I always wanted to write and now I am. Some might say that if your own psyche is so weak that you need a crutch to lean on then maybe you shouldn't do it. Well, not everyones a Rock. A shoulder would have been enough. Now I'm in the midst of writing two novels, dabbling at poetry and having absolutely the most wonderfully empowered and spiritual Renaissance of my life. Your poem reminded me of what I left, how hard that was. And more importantly, for the rebirth of a human being I'd almost forgotten. I most fervently wish you good luck in your new path.

Gods love and Peace.
