"Sad Poetry"

[Erica]

Just starting a thread where you guys can post all of your sad, depressing, venting poetry. To start it off, I'll contribute one of my recent writings...please share yours!

Razor blades
treking through the pain
I sit here and wonder
how many days remain?

My existence goes unnoticed
my efforts are in vain
Life created to please others
creating all but crimson rain

Struggling for peace
the desire to just be
Slashing through the emptiness
I'd die to be loved unconditionally

Will I be noticed if I am gone?
Will they see my misery, that they were wrong?
That underneath the fake laughter and smiles
was a soul torn with razor blade files

Engulfed in darkness, I ponder thus
releasing my torment with hateful lust
Do they even see my struggle and pain?
Uncertainty slowly seeps from my veins

[Breezy]

It gets so hard when you stop believing
When the truth of your life keeps getting you down
And at times you wish you could just stop breathing
From outside your eyes watch yourself drown

Walking the thin line of society’s expectations
Lose balance and fall when you choose not to conform
Beneath you shallow waters of your limitations
Each tear contributes to give the river it’s form

Numbing impact upon conclusions of ice
Fears and failures are pulling you in
childhood dreams, frozen fragments slice
Against these cold waters you simply can’t win

To cure your frozen soul you gasp for air
But only waters of hate and deceit fill your lungs
Choking on disappointments, drowning in despair
The sorrowful song of your life is silently sung

It gets so hard when the truth is deceiving
When the lies of your life are pulling you down
And now as you slowly drift from breathing
Watch from afar your frozen corpse drown
