It’s not easy to Describe the thoughts. The way they link And the way they talk.
Distant, Yet at the very edge. Close, To wishing I was dead.
My laughs are empty, My mind is hollow. Every smile I can muster, Is filled with sorrow.
A dark place so bright, So clear. I hold so much so closely, Yet I wish I wasn’t here.
Those friends of mine, Oh how they try to help. Yet after everything they give, I want to end myself.
So close to the bottom, I’ve never fell. My life so joyful, Yet I’d rather be in hell.
The thoughts in my head. How I wish they would end, But they won’t.
They’re not that kind.
These confessions of my best friend. These confessions of my mind...
I’ve been in a dark place recently and I decided I’d give poetry a try. For my first poem, and the time I spent on it - I’m quite happy with the result. What do you think?
