As Time Flies

I seek to find.
Some peace of mind.
I'm crazy
A bit lazy
Sometimes life gets all hazy
Seeking to find my way
I hope to be a step closer with each new day
Fighting the forever sad
Sometimes makes me feel bad
The pains of the past
 ones they said wouldn't last.
Memories they taunt 
Haunt 
They say I'm mentally ill
There is no cure in a pill
I wish to be in the light
My mind wants to fight
Isn't right
So I stay away
Hard when you have no place to stay
Cold rain on me falls
The cold wind calls
Around me the sadness presses me down
Feels like I'm about to drown.
But I keep going
Keep knowing 
If I fall this day
What will they say
Will any one even care
Pass me by and stare
Maybe not fair
I wish for more
A room with a floor
A door
But l don't give up don't dare
For I still care
My heart grows week
I don't know what it is I seek
I grow old
Shivering in the cold
Hoping the sun will soon shine
Don't mean to whine
To proud 
To cry out loud
No one would hear
I fear
I hide
To get help I tried
So I help myself
I have no wealth 
Searching for my star
No one said it would be this far
Lonely is life
The self made strife
The world says 
We are the same
We each hold some of the blame
Lifes crazy game
Still here
I still fear
Still cold
My soul may be sold
Reaching for that light
Such a fight
Struggling back to my feet
Refuse to bow out in defeat
Someday
Someway
I'll find my tomorrow 
That land of no sorrow 
That place of which I dream
It is further than it would seem
Dry my eyes
My heart gently cries
Till my soul flies

This was a marvellous poem and the way it expresses your feelings.. it just I dont know how to put it.. but its amazing.. like it made me think as if I was that person for a few seconds.. I really admire the way it rhymes so well. Hope you come out of the dreadful phase.

This feels like a very sincere heartfelt poem, i felt the loneliness and angst as i read your lines. So touching and moving. But theres always hope for “ someday …” love that ending too. Very poignant poem. I felt this one
