Exile

Yesterday my pen ran out of ink Today I’m drowning in much sorrow As of right now, I dread tomorrow Life and all it entails just stinks Lately all I’ve felt is pure gloom I’m surrounded by clouds of darkness No longer do I pursue happiness I feel like my world is doomed I have absolutely no reason to smile Sadness has taken over my soul I have no desire to become whole I live in a state of eternal exile 1-21-17 Contest: Form E Sponsor: Broken Wings

Writing in itself always felt to me a solitary affair. Congrats on your win, Alexis!

This feeling of desolation could be quite dreary. Not a good state to be in. I hope its fiction, Alexis. Well congrats on your fine win.

Very powerful poem, Alexis, hoping it's fiction:) for Lord Jesus Christ is reason enough for us to smile:)

I agree w/Arthur. A powerful and tragically sad poem. The spirit of defeat is in a lot of depressed people today. This poem told their story very well. Excellent poetry. Love and hugs to you.
