Dark poetry
I was told that my poems seem very dark…
I am not sure though because I always consider them the emotion of the time. I write poetry when I am down or inspired. I cook when I am stressed out because I find cooking very relaxing. The only trouble is, I do not know who to feed. Any volunteers??
Anyways, read my following poetry and tell me if they seem dark to you. Someone told me my poetry is rather Goth. Then again, I am not sure of the concept of Goth either, though I have many friends who are.
Too many nights of being lonely (8 November 2003)
The pain of being lonely is slowly engulfing me like a plague,
Waiting for a cure that does not seem to materialize,
Though many say time is the best cure of all,
If time was a cure, why does it hurt so much?
Bitter Lesson
life gives us the bitter lesson before it rewards us,
but how are we suppose to get the rewards
if the bitterness has already numbed our senses towards the pleasures of life.
Being selfish
If you love those that you are willing to leave behind,
Killing yourself is definitely the last thing on your mind,
The pain might be unbearable no doubt but sooner or later it will past,
However, how long will it take for my pain to past?
Should I consider being selfish for once and risk hurting the ones dear to me….
Candy
They say I’m like hard candy,
Hard and pretty on the outside,
Sweet yet tough,
But I am soft and gooey on the inside,
My insecurities are the filling within the pretty shell.
