21. Trust?

I have really close friends that are afraid of opening up because of the life that they lived. This is for them in the hope that they can one day open up.

Poem Asking Friend To Trust You

After I knew the person you showed the world,
I searched for the person you are.
He was nowhere around
Where was he to be found?

After I knew the person you showed the world,
I searched for the person you are.
He was nowhere around
Where was he to be found?
Behind the person you wear?
Can I see you without him there?

There are walls set up
Life has never let up
They have saved you in the past
The area they cover is vast.

If only I could spend sometime in your mind
Then I could truly see what makes you one of a kind
But, I'd rather you be able to open up and tell me
The door has been locked from the world, you see?

I want to be the key to your sanctuary
Let go of the hardships that you no longer need to carry
I will share in the weight
I will take it off your plate

Do you know how it feels to be able to share in pain?
For someone to be there throughout the strain.
I know you don't want to bother loved ones
When I want to help, that is no reason to run

I want you to feel the serenity that comes from trust
Life does not always have to be unjust
So let go and fall into me
I'll be here forever, you'll see.

22. Fragile Heart

Sometimes I just don't feel like my normal self. I'll be sad throughout the day, randomly cry, and have nightmares that wake me up in the middle of the night. Sometimes every single thing that I've ever been sad or stressed about pops in my head at the same time, and it makes me feel this way. If you are struggling with something similar, please just remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Jesus is with you and loves you. I'm praying for you.

Coping With Unbearable Sadness

My life is falling apart,
Can't get rid of this fragile heart,
Headache from all the tears,
Restless sleep, thinking about fears.

My life is falling apart,
Can't get rid of this fragile heart,
Headache from all the tears,
Restless sleep, thinking about fears.
No more happiness,
No more tears left to cry,
Good memories, say goodbye.
Broken love, broken hope,
My fragile heart doesn't know how to cope.

23. The Eyes Of Desert

Singles are suffering from loneliness, not just for sex or lust but for true fulfillment. Who knows what they are going through when they are just alone, wanting all?
- By Edith Uchenna
- Published: January 2008
Loneliness Of Singlehood

Contentment is all that I seek for
Fulfillment is what I look for
And all is in my mind

Contentment is all that I seek for
Fulfillment is what I look for
And all is in my mind

Far away, I hear the sound
The sound of a good romance
All in my mind

The touch is satisfying
Urge for more, calls the desire
But in my mind

The breathing is naturally suffocating
And shamelessly wanton
But all in my mind

The union is awesome
As the fulfillment is wholesome,
But all in my mind

Deserted in the sinful thought
That seeks satisfaction all alone
Also rumbles in my mind

Frozen seems my wanderlust
As it grazes in the dry land
Yet all is in my mind

Much as I look inward, lost in my deep thought
I see nothing but a lone wolf in the desert with the eyes
And all is still in my mind

24. The Nightmare Of Abuse

This poem was written to get out all the emotions of what happened in my childhood. I needed to do something to make me feel like I wasn't alone anymore. I hope it helps others to realize they don't have to be alone.

How are you feeling? What's going through your mind?
Is that dream you're dreaming hurting deep inside?
You wake up hearing yelling, yelling in your room,
You wonder who it is, then you realize it is you.

How are you feeling? What's going through your mind?
Is that dream you're dreaming hurting deep inside?
You wake up hearing yelling, yelling in your room,
You wonder who it is, then you realize it is you.
You thought you were dreaming and you woke up feeling scared,
But the feelings were real and you realized he was in your bed.
You wonder if anyone heard, heard you scream and shout,
But you realize you're alone and no one will help you out,
You're helpless and afraid, just a lonely little girl.
You want to be saved, but shhh, we're not supposed to tell.

25. Truth Untold

I wrote this when I woke up really early one morning and felt like the whole world was turned against me.
- By Shianne

Analysis of Form and Technique

My pain and misery fall from the sky
So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by.
Surrounded with memories of what could have been,
The hatred screams under my skin.

My pain and misery fall from the sky
So hard I try to ignore it, but it still gets by.
Surrounded with memories of what could have been,
The hatred screams under my skin.
Pulsing through my veins is the anger I feel.
Wounds break open as soon as they seal.
Darkness surrounds me with every step I take.
I manage a smile, but do you know it's a fake?
I laugh when people talk to me,
But inside I'm dying, wishing they could see
I'm as different inside as I am the same.
Wish they could see they're not to blame.
I know the truth, but it's locked in my heart,
And now more than ever, it's tearing me apart.

26. Searching For My Soul

My inspiration for this poem is from feeling lost in this world. I don't know where this will take me, but it is how I am feeling in the moment. This is the first poem I have written to give me some hope in life.

Feeling Lost In This World

In this life
I once felt hope.
I sometimes still believe in this,
but each moment a little less.

In this life
I once felt hope.
I sometimes still believe in this,
but each moment a little less.
I feel abandoned in my despair,
and it's difficult to repair.
I get broken each day some more,
keeping these emotions in my core.
I find myself hiding behind this smile,
the one that shows my denial.
I have thoughts of lonesomeness,
which no person should possess.
I camouflage this so well;
it feels like I'm in hell.
I hurt on the inside,
trying to push these demons aside.
I want something better,
to not feel all this terror.
I know it can be manageable;
there are things that make life tolerable.
I just cannot find the thrill,
like when I was a child with a one dollar bill.
I remember when dreams were imaginable,
now it feels like I'm undoubtedly fallible.
I wish to find myself soon.
This feels as if I'm trapped in a cocoon.
I would like to hatch,
not be so detached.
I need to end this coldness,
before death leaves me soulless.

27. Hold Me

This poem is about feeling very alone in the world. Like someone turned off the lights and has me walking the streets with nobody beside me. I just want someone to hold me so that the world doesn't seem so dark and depressing inside me. I want to feel some kind of hope that someone does care about me.

I'm Feeling Alone Poem

I'm hurt all the time.
I don't want to cry for the way I feel inside.

I'm hurt all the time.
I don't want to cry for the way I feel inside.
I just want someone to hold me.
I'm alone in the dark; please try to find me.
If no one cares, I don't see a point to go on.
Anyone find me! Anyone care!
I'm sorry, I just don't want to be alone anymore.
I feel unheard and unseen. Depressed and weak.
No one cares, and yet I'm always the sorry one.
Someone find me! I'm scared.
Please hold me until it all ends.
Just hold me; that's all I want.
I don't want to be alone in the dark.
Just hold me as I start to disappear from the light.
Just hold me as I start to cry.
Just hold me so I won't be alone inside.
Just hold me so I don't do something wrong.
Just hold me so tight, that for a moment I could feel the light....

28. The Forgotten Mother

Shortly after her death, I found a copy of this poem in my mother's belongings.
- By Ruby Latimer Edwards
- Published: November 2006
A gray old woman sits all alone,
Unloved, uncherished, and unknown.
Sitting beside her broken door,
Dreaming of days passed long ago,

A gray old woman sits all alone,
Unloved, uncherished, and unknown.
Sitting beside her broken door,
Dreaming of days passed long ago,
When children played about her knee
Filling the air with childish glee,
Tended by her with loving care,
Knowing the blessing of a Mother's prayer.
But now they have gone, each to his life.
A girl to her husband, a boy to his wife,
Forgetful are they of her who sits here,
Silently wiping a tricking tear.
For striving for things in a life so brief
Blind their poor eyes to a dear Mother's grief.
But does she upbraid them in word or in mind.
Nor does their neglect to her seem unkind.
She'll forgive and forget all unkindness they've shown
This poor old mother who sits alone.

29. Unexpressed Feelings

This was inspired by my current situation. My friends abandoned me, and my loved one left me along with a broken heart. I'm so hurt.
- By Dhana May C. Baysa
- Published: May 2008
Friends And Lover Left Me

Sometimes, I wonder why something shouts as loud as thunder
It was there inside of me, hiding for a reason
Sometimes, I looked at the sky and hurtle a cry
Maybe because of hurt but still, I'm wondering why

Sometimes, I wonder why something shouts as loud as thunder
It was there inside of me, hiding for a reason
Sometimes, I looked at the sky and hurtle a cry
Maybe because of hurt but still, I'm wondering why

As I wake up in the morning, the light blinds me from darkness
My heart is filled with such sadness
I am an ordinary person with a broken heart and shame everywhere
I can't believe this pain inside and shame elsewhere

These unexpressed feelings of mine will never let me be fine
I hope tomorrow as I looked up the sky,
All my doubts, pain, and hurt will die
Tears should not fall from this eyes again and again...

30. Change Is All

Nobody knows what I go through. I just can't put it in words. Be a friend and help somebody today. When you see a kid sitting alone, go and sit by them. It really does make a difference! Probably nobody will ever see this side of me. But whoever reads this, thank you so much just for reading this. At least I know somebody cared a little.
- By Olivia Libby

Be A Friend And Change Someone's World

No one will ever know how I feel,
For I cannot even explain it all.
Nobody to love,
Nobody to blame,

No one will ever know how I feel,
For I cannot even explain it all.
Nobody to love,
Nobody to blame,
Everyone always the same.
Nothing to care about,
No reason to lie,
For I am me, myself, and I.
No one sees what I see,
Nobody left to care for me.
It's kind of sad knowing what's true,
'Cause then you know who's there for you.
Most of them just put on that act.
A lot of them talk bad about me behind my back.
Thanks for making me feel this way,
There's nothing more I should have to say.
All the times I was alone
Makes me feel weird when someone's home.
No family for support, no friends to care.
People wonder why I don't go anywhere.
Every night crying myself to sleep,
Sometimes I wish someone loved me.
No hope, no love, no life, no friends.
The pain never ends.
Sometimes I ask what did I do to deserve this.
But nobody answers.
A voice in my head tells me to forget the bad and remember good.
But then I answer to myself saying there is no good to remember.
I always yell at myself asking why me? Why?
Sitting in a empty spare room.
No one to talk to about how I feel.
No one to ask me what I feel.
Is anyone out there in this harsh world we live in?
Sometimes I begin to wonder.
Sometimes I'm harsh on myself.
Morn comes and I wake up wishing I was never born.
Please help others, because today's lives
Are being taken out of this world just as easy as they are coming in.
You can change someone's life.
Make a change.
It's a tough world.

Fixing My Damaged Soul

There are people all around me,
Yet I can't help but feel alone.
And although he says he loves me,
He no longer lets it show.

There are people all around me,
Yet I can't help but feel alone.
And although he says he loves me,
He no longer lets it show.

See, I've been trying to find myself again,
Seem to have lost myself in time.
Empty thoughts inside my head,
I have a therapeutic mind.

My eyes are wide open,
But I refuse to let them see
Just how broken I truly am
From him not wanting me.

I hate that we fight a lot,
Wish we can take control.
How can I fix a broken heart
With such a damaged soul?

32. Release

Constantly thinking about the past and what I would change if possible. The future looks rather bleak due to my personal health issues. I'm disabled with other major health issues which have had me in the hospital at least 3 to 5 times per year since 1998. Family isn't always supportive. I've been taken to the hospital by ambulance without anyone in my family knowing and they live with me. Last year was in the ICU for five days before anyone in my family knew.
- By Paul R. Smitn

Living In The Past Since The Future Looks Bleak

I often walk in early morn
engrossed in time's once new.
with thoughts and dreams of things long past,
the carefree days of youth.

I often walk in early morn
engrossed in time's once new.
with thoughts and dreams of things long past,
the carefree days of youth.

Those hurt and loved, embrace them all.
Repent the things done wrong.
My words can not begin to say
What's felt within my heart.

The silent night, she placates me
Inside her dark cocoon.
She keeps man's world away from me
Where I can be myself.

Shoe-kick a stone like me alone
With no real place to go.
Time hasn't been so kind to me.
The future's insecure.

The family's grown away from me.
My body's wearin' down.
Not certain what will come of me,
Seems Yesterday's all I've got.

So I'll lay upon thick carpets green,
so gentle to the touch.
And suck upon a blade of grass,
While my mind, it again wanders off.

To hear the morning birds a new.
Their songs they comfort me.
I know there's really nothing left.
Unleash red veins to free.

I watch the light of day come on.
I feel the sky turn blue.
I sense the dawn come splashing down,
My life, it ends too soon.

33. Unseen, Unheard

This poem is about someone who is struggling and is alone in their battle. Their partner doesnt want to see it and believes them when they say they're fine. They leave and are finally "seen" by someone who knows what it's like to fight alone.
- By Ebony Black

Alone In My Battle

Unseen, unheard, my voiceless cries
I tell you I'm fine through honeyed lies
You smile and nod, just what you wanted to hear
You don't really care, that much is clear

Unseen, unheard, my voiceless cries
I tell you I'm fine through honeyed lies
You smile and nod, just what you wanted to hear
You don't really care, that much is clear

Unwanted, unloved, the voices whisper to me
I'm breaking and drowning, but you don't see
You just smile absently and turn away
Leaving me drifting another day

Unhappy, unpleasant, my life has become
Will somebody save me before the damage is done?
Someone to guide me into the light
Someone to help me win the fight

Unending, unbearable, these thoughts and fears
I number my breaths as I shed silent tears
I pray and I beg that you'll glance up at me
Notice the darkness, finally see

Unfeeling, uncaring, I can't take anymore
You don't even register that I head for the door
I walk and walk, no destination in mind
Seeking only to leave you far behind

Unthinking, unseeing, the world passing by
I hold myself as I softly cry
Someone sits down beside me, wipes away my tears
"I see you, I hear you, I had the same fears"

Unsteady, unsure, I begin to smile
This feeling, this stirring, it's been a while
Someone has come to pick up the fight
The voices lessen, I'll be all right

34. Feelings Of Abandonment

This is a poem of how I have felt abandoned by those few who claimed to love me throughout my life.
- By Angela Fernatt
- Published: November 2007
I keep looking for comfort from you
I sit and wonder if your love is true
You see me crying
Inside you have to know I'm dying

I keep looking for comfort from you
I sit and wonder if your love is true
You see me crying
Inside you have to know I'm dying
Don't you see these tears
Don't you see the hurt from so many years
The little girl who was hurt so bad
Is now 30 years old and utterly sad
No one to listen or even to talk to
Recalling memories that hurt me through and through
The things you ask of me
It triggers a memory
Memories I'd rather forget
Memories embedded in my mind, completely set
The hurt, the pain and anger won't go away
I wonder who "loves me" and will turn their back today
I can't explain how I feel inside
Feelings of abandonment rush in like the tide
Ghosts haunt me no matter where I go
I do love you still, that you should know
I wish you could understand
I would be there holding your hand
I would take away all your pain
So in the end, you'd have a life to gain
But for me, darkness is all I see
No happiness for this little girl is to be
The adult lives her life
Taking on happiness, sorrow, and strife
I hope someday you'll understand
Someday I hope you'll be here to comfort me and hold my hand
Until that day, all I feel is punishment
Along with those never-ending feelings of abandonment

I wrote this poem about uncomfortable silence and how it makes you feel alone and awkward, like nobody wants to talk to you and know how you feel. I often write sad poems like this. The type of poems I write express my feelings about different things.

Poem About Waiting In Uncomfortable Silence

Enveloping the room,
Leaving everybody isolated.
Nothing to do, nothing to say,
Just silence.

Enveloping the room,
Leaving everybody isolated.
Nothing to do, nothing to say,
Just silence.

Leaving an uncomfortable feeling,
With even those you are closest to.
So close to talking,
Yet so far.
Just silence.

Cold, dark, and alone,
Your feelings bottled up.
Your thoughts screaming to get out,
Wrapped up in your own world.
Inconsolable and suffering,
Just silence.

Feeling Lonely And Isolated

My heart is but an island
Inside this castaway.
Surrounded by the ocean blue,
I hope to sail someday.

My heart is but an island
Inside this castaway.
Surrounded by the ocean blue,
I hope to sail someday.

Stranded on this distant shore,
I plan for my escape.
Headed to the Bay of Love
Where calm, clear waters wait.

My heart is just an island,
So far out from the fray.
Beyond the blue horizon
I live from day to day.

Stranded on this desert shore
I plan for my escape.
Headed to the Sea of Change
Where love can navigate.

My heart is just an island
Where no one else can see
The loneliness, I must confess
That hides deep down in me.

37. Christmas Memories

Christmas was once a happy time of the year, but since losing my mother in 2005, then my wife in 2010, all that's left are memories. Grief never goes away. We learn to live with it. Christmas day is the toughest time.

Grief On Christmas Without Loved Ones

It's such a warming feeling
Being surrounded by Christmas
Expectation fills the air.
The sparkle, the glitter

It's such a warming feeling
Being surrounded by Christmas
Expectation fills the air.
The sparkle, the glitter
Presents under the gree
With loved ones our dreams we share.

The sound of Christmas carols
Choirs singing Silent Night.
A time to reflect
And thank God above
As we herald the most holy night.

A time to remember loved ones
Who we have lost along the way.
Grief is a heavy burden
Much more poignant
Come Christmas Day.

As a child I believed in Santa
And that there was a God above.
And as a kid
They never once let me down
Ahh!
If only they could bring back the ones I love.

All those Christmases spent together
Now a family torn apart.
A home now bathed in silence
With only memories to warm the heart.

I try so hard to be the perfect person I can be.
Sure I'm young, quiet and shy.

Why?
Why can't people just take the time?
Just tell me your favorite thing to do and I'll tell you mine.
The people that do, I hold dear to my heart.
They see me as mysterious, sweet, funny and smart.
You can't expect me to open up the very first day.
It takes time, but trust me, I'll soon have a lot to say.
Why?
Why can't people wait and get to know the real me?
I bet you I'd be a much different person than you first did see.

In a prison of rusty gates that
never open,
Flowers sacrifice their petals to
time,
The wind stealing them greedily
the only one that sings in this
shrouded wilderness
Kept sacred in the essence no longer
living,
The gates are open do you dare
walk in.

This is a poem of how I have felt abandoned by those few who claimed to love me throughout my life.
