SECRETS & SHADOWS

The difficulties of life

Every time I close my eyes and I try to introspect

I fall back into a deep sea of thoughts

Just when I think I have hit the rock bottom

I come to know it is just hurdles and stones

The goals to achieve are hidden in dust

And the purpose of living has become a lost cause

The time has come to shed some light

To give it all a thought and prepare for fight

The pain has become a welcomed guest

Anger and torture are a daily test

I lost the race at every phase of life

People see what they wish to see

The secrets are hidden, where they should be…

It took me a couple times of reading it to understand the meaning behind this piece. Don't worry, I consider that a good thing. It used to be that I couldn't stand that, but now I like that a new piece of writing makes me think outside of the box:) And it is a very good piece:) The message is definitely worth multiple reads to find:) Although I must say, life isn't always so painful... as much as I write about the pain, I know this to be true:) I hope that you can see that too:)

We puzzle at the quality of life ... and yet find strange twist and turns ... where to quit is to discover and to search ... is to be lost. Such are not the ways of reason and of man ... but they are of the poet. Nice ...

I think life is special and although there are shitheads roaming the world, life still is ahead, vier into the woods and listen to the birds and the wayward butterfly and there will be hope to be found and a future.............

Wonderful words...thank you...:)

I think this is an excellent poem. The speaker is in pain. It feels like suicidal depression.

Hmm nice, I noticed maybe you can change " I have hit the rock bottom " to I have hit rock bottom. Also in

"And the purpose of living have become a lost cause"
Maybe you can change it to has instead of have, unless you did it purposefully. My favorite line is

The goals to achieve are hidden in dust - very interesting

Thank you..:)
