Collection of general poetry. It's of a personal nature but I do not mind comments.
My World
The curtains are drawn,
Hiding me from the world
And the world from me,
Sunlight venturing through
On tip-toed feet,
Calling out in uncertainty.
I do not answer.
The will to rise has left me,
Burrowing deeper within
The flesh-like cushion of myself,
Blanketed with my muscles,
Caged by my bones.
It's all that is left of me.
Aspirations and goals
Taste like ash on my tongue,
Bitter and desolate in all the
Nutrition it affords me.
Once you have tasted heaven,
Once you have sought bliss,
When it is no longer available
And opportunity for happiness shuns you,
Like an apathetic lover,
Everything you once loved
Echoes hollowly.
It cannot sustain me.
There was nothing else
I could ever want for myself.
Even with someone else,
I do not have strength left
To try to reach for it again
Only to be surely denied
For what I lacked
And still do not possess.
Time is running out
But the clock doesn't
Move fast enough.
