Forest of lonliness

 

Can someone tell me

why people let other people

down?

One minute your flying

as high as the snow goose

the next minute

your as deep down as

the earths core.

Walking along feeling happy

content, taking in the sweet

smells of the world

then one phone call

and your walk is

like walking through dense undergrowth

with the forest trying to

grasp at your feet.

Circles of hurt

stripping you bare

as a tree in winters presence

i feel lost and angry

sad and dissapointed

if only i had not answered the phone...

but then i would be living a lie!

You have portrayed well here the emotion of being disappointed and let down. It is terribly deflating of the spirit isn't it? But in the end, I think it is good to lift the veil and see the truth, otherwise we are living a lie. One of the challenges in my life has always been seeing things as they are instead of how I want them to be. Great write, you have me contemplating all this!

This is really a sad and painful poem but it is so true! Your poem captures
the pain of that situation so well. One minute we're so happy and
then the next we're not and asking "Why did I do this?" or "Why did
I make this choice?" I really like your poem. It is very well written
and easy to read.

I feel the pain, it stinks how sadness can consume us in only a matter of seconds. This is a deeply felt poem Emz. Writen clearly and with a lot of feelings. The emothions that hurt sure create the best out of us. Good write.
