Empty Room Full of Pain

It’s purging my pain 
in the darkening room of isolation 
to find myself cutting the hurt out of sight.
 By injecting the bitterness inside  hopeless fields of pain, for
which no one can escape! 
For my mind is numb from the unattainable happiness .
 So  Now I wish to blacken this white innocents that taunts me

Dear Matthew, What a sad poem -very touching. The agonising loneliness causes bitterness and pain. Hope is the antidote. Happiness is highly slippery -difficult to catch. I understand your feelings. Thanks for your generous praise of my poem The Domain of Pain. -Mohammad
