Array ( [sid] => 25383 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Downfall [time] => 2003-10-20 13:53:12 [hometext] => This is about how a loss not dealt with can grow into deep depression. (Has nothing to do with myself) [bodytext] => Injured by an invisible foe
Left behind to bleed alone
Can’t keep the energy inside
Barely have enough to get thru the day
Only to pretend everything is okay
Nothing to spare for something new
No one wants to see thru this façade
Afraid of what they will find

The days keep passing by
Nothing much really happens
They all look the same
Slowly time fades away
Blending all days into one
Can’t find the strength to make it stop
To seize even a single moment
Unable to take hold of fate

Caught in this web of apathy
Not dealing with what’s wrong
Can’t dig deep enough to try
There’s no force to spend on self
The wounded soul will not heal
Not while living this lie
This can’t go on forever
Growing weaker with each phony smile [comments] => 3 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 32 [informant] => pl_rage [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

This really hit home with me. Great write.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
