House of Loneliness

Misery and jealousy
lurk in the bedrooms here.
Black and eerie,covered with drapes.
No light allowed in here.

The parlor is a wonderful sight,
Pretty pictures on the wall.
Flowers everywhere.
It is just a sabotage
to get you to the bedroom there

They suck you in and tell you lies
to make you feel sorry for them.
They drown you in booze
and teach you to hate
so you can be one of them.

Beat up a wife, envy your friends.
Hate your siblings for having 
something.
You want to be hateful
when others have what you don't.
Pick on people for nothing!

All these things that I have listed
will get you in this abode here.
Sadness and misery and loneliness
lurking in the bedrooms here.

Nice to meet you and thanks so much for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to making friends at Poetry Soup. I am 53 yrs. old and have lived on Maui my whole life. I have always enjoyed creating with words and became interested in Poetry while taking a creative writing class at our local community college. This is the first time I have ever posted any of my poems so please excuse the mistakes I will probably make. I got really excited when I already found comments on my poems. I look forward to talking to you again.
