It's lonely, it's dark
There is no way
I see no light
Have I gone astray?

The wind blows no more
And the sky is grey
My tears have dried
Misery holds life at bay

Laughter and warmth
Are forgotten friends
As dread and cold
Wrap me in embrace

I lie very still
Disturb me not
Hope is scarce
I believe I have lost

Words don't help
Actions aren't enough
A new sunrise
Pray, don't let me face

I can explain my pain
In encrypted text
Yet who is there
Who will bother to put me to rest

The fault is my own
Suffer the consequences I must
Defeated I am
All the rest is dust

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

Not only was the message clear, but the poem was very well written. Very good job.
