Alexis Y. Poet Enclosed Rhyme

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

Tamal Kundu January 25, 2017 at 3:18 AM Writing in itself always felt to me a solitary affair. Congrats on your win, Alexis!

Afzal Nusker January 24, 2017 at 9:54 PM 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.

Janice Canerdy January 24, 2017 at 6:24 PM A 7 for this expressive, emotional, WINNING write, Alexis! Janice

John Hamilton January 24, 2017 at 5:13 PM So sad but really well done, hoping this is not your reality!

Joanna Daniel January 22, 2017 at 7:45 AM Very powerful poem, Alexis, hoping it's fiction:) for Lord Jesus Christ is reason enough for us to smile:)

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 21, 2017 at 9:05 PM 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.
