loneliness & tormented

Signed The Dreamer

By Steve James LockhurstPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

twisted and tormented

in a dancing flame

i was shackled and bound

with only myself to blame

I choose the wrong path

and I had hate in my heart

until I was saved

and giving a new start

freed from captivity

I see the world differently

learning consistently

spreading love

no hostility

sharping my ability

writing poems

with proficiency

until I die

baring my soul

for all to see

Signed the dreamer

============================

loneliness

I know it to well

I have no friends

no one to tell

the pain I feel inside

is to much to contain

are these tears of sadness

or are they tears of pain

some people have it worse

so who am I to complain

so I bottle the hurt

and act like I'm sain

like these demons aren't haunting me

wishing to see me fail

my mind was a temple

now my mind is a jail

psychosis has won

at least for now

so ill end this poem

with one question

how

sad poetry
