Why do we exist?
That is for you to decide
But still, I don't know

Once again, i fade away into darkness
My confidence, shattered
My hope, lost
My motivation, gone
What remains of me?

I sink back into the comforts of depression
A friend i know all too well
Loneliness and numbness consume me again
As i fade away for the final time
With one last word: Goodbye

Sleep, sleep, come to me
Fill my mind with pleasant dreams
Dreams of happiness and glee
Sleep, sleep, set me free

Sleep, sleep, bring me dreams
Dreams of peace and harmony
With a soothing melody
Sleep, sleep, sweet dreams

Beautiful poems abound
Literary sounds
Maybe one day i can write
Not out of hate, sadness or spite
But out of love

Love for the world around me
Love for those who are dear to me
Maybe even for my enemies
But most importantly
Love for myself

Until that day comes, all I can do
Is write this poem, from me, to you

I **** at this thing
I can't do haiku's at all
Oh wait, i did it

I am a blank slate
What colors will you paint?
Will it be of beautiful flowers
Or will you abuse your power?

I am a blank slate
Will you give or will you take?
Will you fill my life with joy
Or will you use your power to destroy?

Whatever it is you choose to do
I am influenced by you

Darkness
Loneliness
Numbness
My world is filled with gray

The sun rises
A brilliant flash of light
Fades away to vibrant colors
Maybe...this is ok?

The sun sets
Darkness returns again
Loneliness returns again
The numbness returns, again

And yet, I won't give up
The sun will rise another day
