Wipe away the swift flowing tears
Nothing but pain feels real
You laugh, because you can't hear what goes on inside

I try to find a "safe" place to cry,
But no place remains
All I can do is push myself on until I can no longer try
Aspirations and dreams fade to naught

Your lies (so true) they paralyze
Self-confidence shattered like glass
Tears leak from angry skies
Enveloped with a sick sadness

Backed into a corner bruised and battered
I lack the strength to defend myself
Because my tears leave me worn and tattered
I can't do this alone,
But I am alone and I have always been alone [comments] => 10 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 32 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

That's really sad Joel - definitely see the hurt, *hug*, a line that
really stuck out to me was
"Tears leak from angry skies
Enveloped with a sick sadness"
At some spots it didn't flow the greatest but I thought it was well
done; don't forget: you're your own worst critic!!

Later,

All I could think about is how lonely, lonely feels. It is tough when you are backed into a corner feeling defeated.

But somehow strength emerges slowly, and we pick ourselves up until we slip again.

Your poetry always make me cry Bo.
