My Heart Is Dead

I hate this feeling
Disastrous it is
I fall, head first
Into the ground
Shaken I cry
Letting it all out
Displaying a pout
I come to realize
My life is dread
Unheralded heart
Nothing left
I feel honestly dead
I say to all
This is the end

I don't know if this is a dramatic piece or not. Forgive me. I got a big chuckle out of this one. Congrats on the selection. daver

Come off it, you need not be so dismal, at least you can write. Your heart may be dead but so are all the hearts of all the world at one point or another. It's a messed up rock we live on, and chances are this is just one of those problems that people have, that if you attack it correctly you can better yourself from it. Don't be so bleak, (should I be talking?) there's colour everywhere, find some. -Kirby MD
