The Glass Cage

Darkness burns in my mind
Life feels empty and wasted
The utter uselessness of being
Suffering is the lot of woman
Harshness rules the day
Nothing to look forward to
Except the ending of the pain
 
Once again I place pen to paper
My words of pain flow once more
No longer can I contain them within
For I am filled to overflow with ache

Before my words flew from my fingertips
Out into the cold void of darkness
Seeking to be heard, shared, felt
My pain released for all to see

Hope filled me of never feeling
The pain of emptiness and sorrow
Yet here I am again, filled with pain
Seeking to escape it in words

Yet my words bring sorrow and heartache
Others are saddened by that which
Flows from within my soul
And that brings me even more pain

Would it be better to keep this pain
To bury it within until it consumes me
For it's far better if someone as me
Is consumed then for others to be harmed

And so my words must cease to flow
My fingers must cease to type
For it's not happiness that I share
And pain is better suffered alone
 
My soul crys out in agony
Nor will it be silent
Tho I bid it to hold it's tongue
It pours out words of pain
Wailing in it's misery
Yet it cries out in solitude
For no one can hear it's
Pitiful whimpers and sobs
tears of pain fall in silence
Uncared for and unwanted
One day it will cease it's
Useless cries and let the pain
Consume it in peace
 
Does the death of a soul bear a sound?
Can you hear it's last breath inside?
Do the screams of it's final agony
Escape the lips of it's bearer?
Please God, don't let it fall upon
The ears of those still living.
Don't let them hear the pain
That crushes the life from it's essence.
Sheild them so that they will never know
The tortures endured in it's final moments.
Don't let them look into the eyes
And see that they hold nothing but death
All else long since gone from within
Nothing left but this body waiting to die
How long can a body last with no soul?
How long must a mind endure
This useless exsistance?
How long until the peace of darkness
Claims it?
 
Emptiness
I'm surrounded
By emptiness.
It envelops me
And consumes me.
It fills my life and soul.
Lingering in my mind
Dark and rolling
Destroying as it
Grows and fills each
Cornor of my mind
Where it touchs
There is nothing left
I feel it taking me
Piece by piece
Soon there will
Be nothing left
When it takes
That last little piece
I will cease to exist
 
Cold and wet against my skin
As I lay here in the dark
The heat from my body seeps away
Wicking down into the cold earth
Darkness enfolds me in it's empty arms
Silence calls to me begging to be heard
I feel my body slipping away
As my mind soars into the night
I stand alone on this endless
Plain of desolation and bitterness
Arms surround me, unseen but felt
Drawing me ever deeper into dispare
My struggles cease as my mind
Is released, never to return
The darkness complete
And forever unbroken
 
Day after day
Drifting aimlessly
No place for my soul
To rest
No arms to hold me
To keep me in this world
Just endless
Drifting, flitting
Looking for a place to be
A place to belong
A life to call mine
Ever searching
Hoping
Wanting
Aching
Drifting
 
In an endless darkness
we seek out a guiding light.
Our path always so unknown,
seemingly empty as the night.
For what is around to show us the way?

Shadows play,
pain searing as hot as day.
Yet our thoughts destroy our hopes.
