Sometimes i feel like running,
just a simple escape from where i am
an escape from who i am.
sometimes i feel like singing
singing aloud
singing the colors of life,
oh so proud.
i wanna sing the colors of pain
the colors of love
the colors of hate
of confusion
of tears
i wanna sing it all
embrace in the pool of human emotions
and simply fall.
but sometimes i feel like hiding
i wanna hide from reality,
from the people in my life
from the demons in myself.
i breath
i breath
but i can’t see what’s underneath.
i have built so many walls
that even if one person tried
they would never succeed.
i feel so lost inside
so empty
so plain,
like a blank sheet of paper
useless and insignificant.
maybe i’ll never grow
maybe i’ll never know what it truly feels to be alive.
so who knows where i’ll be in a year from now,
either i[ll be a changed woman
or the old lost one.
i wake up everyday hearing silence
just silence all around me
it is as if time has stopped still
transfixing me in a moment of hell
a nightmare from the other side.
i am temporarily transported to a place where all the skeletons in my closet come to life
chasing me all around the dark forest with a knife.
This is my life.

This poem is very dark in nature and really shouts a need for something, or perhaps a need to escape something and find meaning someplace or somewhere else. It sounds like it could be a little bit of both. Once you find the place you are looking for, or perhaps escape the place you want out of, I hope that it brings a sense of peace. I want to applaud you for the successful use of portraying these feelings through writing. It’s not always an easy task when trying to accurately describe how we feel, but I have found that for many people, writing it out makes it much easier. Good job!
Thank you, much appreciated! Your interpretation is spot on, that is exactly what i was trying to convey in my writing.
I fully relate to these conflicting feelings, and I applaud your boldness for using dark emotions to create beautiful work. I would love to see more from you!
