Emotional wastelands
Posted: June 3, 2011 Filed under: Confessions, Death and Darkness, memories, pain, poetry | Tags: emotions, emptiness, numbness, pain 20 CommentsSo this is what it feels like
To be banished to the emotional wastelands
So this is what it feels like
To walk among the living dead
Eating, sleeping,but never feeling
What it means to be
Alive.
So this is what it feels like
Living with the knowledge that you are dying
Slowly, gradually, yet not really at peace
To die.
So this is what he felt like………..
So this is what it feels like
To gaze on to a land with no color, no life
Where no flowers nod and
Bloom in the wind,no faces smile
And greet, no sun shines
So this is what it feels like
In a land where only grey lives in shades, where misery
Lurks in every nook and corner, where heartache
Triumphs and numbness reigns
So this is what it feels like
To slowly wither away…………
Wow! This is a powerful combination of poetry and image that packs the punch of static emotional pain! Very well composed!
POWERFUL WORDS! the emotion here is so strong.
In the hands of a lackadaisical stoic insensitive, the ethereally sensitive does wither away.It is inevitable and essential in the imperative process of salvaging the all too fragile soul. Your words sing to my depths, stir something within that haven’t stirred in a very long time.Reminds me strongly of myself when I was young. Powerful words from a mighty powerful Goddess with an unbreakable soul. How do I know? It’s there in the words, the poetry,the eyes ;)
Enjoyed the architecture of this piece, the refrain working very well. Nice write ~ Rose
Not a place for the faint of heart; yet, they reside therein.
WOW…. Very deep and expressive in its imagery.
Great, powerful prose.
So this is what it feels like
To slowly wither away…………
good lines. I like this quite a bit. Nice work.
yeah, I can relate.
well done,
Emptiness conveyed…
Powerful expression…
When the heart breaks, these feelings you’ve conveyed become daily musings. You’ve displayed the feelings with an excellent compilation.
brilliant words fantastic picture …but ultimately a sad poem which makes one reflect,life no matter how hard or short should be for living ! Thank you for your timely words
Happy birthday! :)
Sounds like a description of depression!
Eating, sleeping but never knowing how it is to be alive,
Great art!
wow. very strongly written, well conveyed.
Powerful, full of grey and dark notes, like a dry wine that pierces the palate. Lovely
The desolate-ness of this poem is felt, well written I enjoyed reading it.
wow , very well written and I think we have all felt that way at one time or another
Well done! Very powerful wording.
Hate to be in emotional wastelands because it’s the only place that we learn the reality the truth, that you have been abandoned and forgotten…… and my dear carefree wanderer you have taught me this bitter truth here
Very true to life. Good job at bringing it across.
