Alexei Beresnev Poem
Why am I not happy?
I have every reason to be,
For the better part
To Soar with joy.
The joy though, is nonexistant
I still sorrow.
Troubled by thoughts, I was,
But now, I am consumed by them.
Thoughts, slowly drive this one insane.
They are never shared with anyone.
My pain is so great,
Thus, it cannot be shared.
Overwhelming, destroying,
Crushing pain affects this one.
Others see it seldomly,
When they do, they worry.
There is a way,
A way to stop the worrying.
To hide all the pain of this one,
Making it so it is never seen.
Just to smile,
To hide all the pain behind your eyes,
To just leave it there,
Even if the amount of pain grows.
Leave the pain behind my eyes.

Alexei Beresnev Poem
What happens to people?
When they are kept in the darkness
The darkness of their soul,
Stuck in the pitch black of Eternity.
In the darkness we go mad.
In the darkness we go blind.
Then, when finally shown the light,
We don't recognize it.
We can't see the warmth of the light
For our souls have gone cold
Motionless,
Full of pain,
But nothing else
Not Joy, Happiness,
Not even love.
It becomes a heart of stone,
Any potential space for good emotions disappear.
With No Light,
We Are Left In The Darkness

Alexei Beresnev Poem
With a few words you can make someone suffer,
Confuse them and blind them
With a few words
You can weave a web of lies.
Or you can give them joy,
Blind happiness
But in an instant you can take it away
Gone, for almost forever
No happiness,
What happens when word hurt you,
When words of pain are uttered to you?
Burning at you,
Hurting you
Then you begin to feel empty,
Hollow inside, full of nothing
Even when you have joyus things
There is no more happiness.
No matter
You still feel nothing
Not happy nor sad.
Just nothing, empty.
Next time,
Before speaking,
Think,
Are your words Prudent?

Alexei Beresnev Poem
Thoughts are just thoughts,
Dreams are just dreams
Thoughts and dreams can't hurt you,
At least that's what people say.
What if those thoughts bear hatred to you?
People act on thoughts,
Their thoughts might harm you,
Or might give you joy.
What do you do when your own thoughts harm you?
When they confuse you,
Drive you insane
When they affect everything,
Including your dreams
Our thoughts, our feelings, and our fears,
Are manifested in our dreams.
When you wake up crying,
Or wake up screaming,
And with a rushed heartbeat.
But sometimes our dreams are happy,
Our dreams let us have what we cannot have.
Keep in mind,
In the end, thoughts are just thoughts
And, dreams are just dreams.
