And I stopped trying

Stopped dying

Not much I seek

And less I speak

 

And now I’m leaving

And disbelieving

The facts I made

The souls I raid

 

The fire and flame

The guilt and shame

I swallow my pride

And step aside

 

For good things need time

And patient I lack

As a heart turns black

And a voice becomes mime

 

No longer I remember

The rain of November

And the drops of pain

Falling with rain

 

No longer I can wait

For a change in my fait

For sun to shine

And cast warmth on my spine

 

No longer I follow the light

That keeps me awake every night

No longer I can pray

For no words are left to say

 

Even if I write

My sorrows of tonight

I can’t find them a title, I write them none

Just another document, document one

 

And a back against a wall

I await for it to fall

And the mirror now I break

For reflection that seems fake

 

No heart left to tame

And empty is the frame

No black nor white

No war no fight

 

No pride no regret

Just a silhouette

And a print of a man

Who did all he can

 

No more I try

No more I die

For I’m already there  

Or at least I were

Wonderful! Sounds like the remnants of a lonely lost soul, just being.

Life teaches us to appreciate the things we left behind. Easy to see a life as a disappointment. A wise man find some good in his life and leave the bad stuff behind. A strong ending to a excellent poem. Thank you.

amayzing. great job.

[Bard Constantine]

This was nicely done... a dark, moody piece of work. Looking at the form, I'd question why change the rhyme scheme in the fourth stanza -it clashes with the agreement of the rest of the poem. Also, in stanza 6 line 2 I believe the word should be 'fate'. Otherwise, great writing...

Sad. This was sad and dark, but good so don't worry. Haha

Miserable yet beautiful
Way to go =)
Keep it up :)

This is so sad. But the neutral grey emotions are so strong and confirmed. I liked the rhymes and honesty in this poem. Thank you for the request. Take care
