Silence, Emptiness, And Confusion

by Bek

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl
It feeds on loneliness and creates a void
Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture
A teenager is stricken and destroyed

There is no sound of laughter or happiness here
The little one has thrown in the towel today
Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul
It is futile to hope and dream and pray

Emptiness builds a home in this woman
In this girl, this child where hollows have bred
A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes
And eats away at every connecting thread

Confusion feeds like a savage inside her,
Leaving nothing considered worthy remains
Destined to walk through life less ordinary
Alone, exiled, different and disdained.

Bek, your poem has a real honesty about it, I love the first line, I can almost imagine it as the lyric by some folky femme who has the courage to see things as they really are, or as they really seem. You have a talent, a power so beautiful. "Bek you can express in words the reality many live in!" God Bless Amy

Wow! that is a perfect example of how i feel every second, minute, hour, every single day of my life. I write poetry as well to ease the pain, but it still remains and overpowers me. How do you do it? How do you fight the urge of suicide? Maybe one day i will find out. but i hope that day comes real soon.
