Feeling Crushed

Feeling crushed by the hand of fate; dreams collapse and crumble away. And abandoned to fear and hate, emptiness consumes all my day. Walking blind, convinced I can see; anxiety rips me apart. And questioning what defines me, cascading doubts, fracture my heart. All alone and bullied by fears, lingering dreams swiftly depart. And I drown in a pool of tears as feelings of loneliness start. Forsaking promises of youth, I wonder why my birth took place. And as deceit supplants the truth, it's like the world is in my face. Aching, I'm accustomed to pain; being hurt by both foe and friend. And on the fringes of disdain, I thank God that life has an end.

This poem is very deep and emotional. A beautifully written expression of dark emotions. I can relate to it. You're not truly alone.

Thanks Christy, I'm afraid we all share these feeling at some point in our lives, Emile.
