Poem of the Week


Each week I will post the poem I find to be the best from those I receive. If the poem does not change, it is one of two reasons. Either I did not receive any poetry that week, or I am immersed in school and have been unable to update this page. I have tried to fit the line breaks to where I feel the train of thought stops. If it is wrong, I ask the author to let me know. I apologize in advance. So, without further ado . . .


Trapped in a World Of misery, Contained in a Land of Dispair,
surrounded by thoughts of depression, im sure we have all been there.
Why is it always so hard, to smile for everyone elses benifet,
but Cry all the time by yourself, and why is happiness important,
when the things that make you happy, are also the things that shatter the serenity of life..
none of these things im really sure of..
Life is too short to dwell on the Past,
but it always seems like its a never ending battle of emotion,
Raging deep inside of all of us
Love is a Curse, and a Gift all Wrapped up into one, what we all Strive for,
but few seldom really find..
Purpose is somthing no one understands, but everyone Tries to find, meaning very little,
But so very much all at the same time.
all of these things i have pondered,
Sometimes just in passing, and others while in deep Comtemplation,
its hard to be alone with yourself, when theres so many voices screaming inside.
and sometimes i laugh. just laugh, at myself, at the world..
at my Sorrows and Mistakes.. because in the Grand Sceme,
they are all meaningless.. utterly useless..
only Dwelled upon by myself, and sometimes i wish i could just scream,
and Chase everything away, and be alone. entirely..
with nothing, and with no one.
Trapped in my Own thoughts,
Left to my Dreams..
and content with myself.
and then i think of you.. your amazing beauty.. your enchanting smile, your whimsical Laugh, your Gorgeous eyes..
and i stop.. and smile inside.. i feel Warm for a Second..
and then go cold with the thoughts of where you could be,
who you could be with.
You Are lost to me, and i Yearn to find you,..
my soul Aches with each passing second you Neglect me,
my Heart breaks with every day you forget me.
but have yu forgotten?
or am i only being selfish, thinking of only my happiness and what i would like.
i try to think of what your thinking, what your doing..
and what ive done to make you stop Caring. you may still care, and you may still love,
but inside thats not the way i feel.
and even though we are still very far apart,
and may never be together ever again, i will always love you.
and you will always be the only one that can make me Truely whole,
and truely Content.
because you are my one, my only. my all.
i know you will never read this, But it's yours. and only yours
i miss you with all of myself Sarah,
and whereever you Are, think of me, as much as i think of you,
and make sure that you Come home to me. and make me myself again.
