A poem about life...(inspired by talking with a friend)

Solitude

How could I feel angry at a time like this?
My heart cracked in pieces
And my hands clenched fists
I cant sleep cuz my mind drives me crazy
Focusing on the things
That I always let phase me…
I wish and I try while I prosper
Everything’s so good
It’s respectfully proper
But inside it’s all-different
Like I’m battling a monster
I’m haunted and cursed
Even though my heads up
It still hurts
To swallow up the pain
That would put a sane one in the dirt
But I thirst…
It’s the opposition that I crave
To shut them down entirely
With a smile on my face
My life is lived like a circle trapped inside a box
While they’re watching me and stalking me
I’m soaring free in the breeze like a hawk
They’ve not forgotten me
I’m nothing but a pet like the rest
With a cross on my arm and hair on my chest
I long to live my life to make a difference
And I pray that when it ends that it will be quite beautiful yet significant
Hopefully worth all these words that i stole from the air
I’m gasping for breath…does anybody care?

Great job Matt. It seemed a bit contradictory but that made it interesting. I don't claim to be any kind of poetic critic...I just come here to be amazed :mrgreen:
