Most Ruined of All

This poem was inspired by a song Iris by Goo Goo Dolls


I don't want the world
to see me,
as I don't think,
they'll understand.
Even if they saw,
I don't dread any honest dig,
for I stay as invisible as the air
around them.
The agony that is running
through my bones,
making them freeze,
is beyond words and metaphors.
The tremor of regret,
with every breath is inevitable,
I shudder with the very weight
of this deadly life.
An endless season of slumber - 
is all that I need,
to overcome this never ending
span of suffering. 
As I am an absolute master piece,
among the most ruined of all.

Silent One January 2, 2024 at 10:36 AM I love this song and you have written a very good poem inspired by it.. It eloquently captures the raw vulnerability and isolation that many individuals experience, hidden beneath a façade of invisibility. The opening lines, "I don't want the world to see me, as I don't think they'll understand," set the tone for a journey into the speaker's profound struggle. The use of metaphors, such as the agony running through the bones, paint a vivid picture of the emotional pain endured..
