What World is This


What world is this
That leaves you feeling alone in a crowded room
What world is this
That renders everyone you speak to, touch, blind to your love
What world is this?
I’ll tell you what world

A world where you feel empty inside
Because of all you give, it seems nothing matters
To anyone
Just running on used up hope and unheard wishes

A world where there are sugar coated walls
That every now and then make you happy
But when it rains you see the real world again
Who’s walls confine you, and keep you from reaching the greener side

A world where everything, everyone, you know and love can be lost
In an instant, with no warning
Then with nothing else to lose, you tear down those walls
Only to see that they were holding back the ocean which then floods over you

A world where you are just drifting
Waiting
For the end to come and pull you down below
And when it does, you think to yourself

What world is this?

Just me venting my feelings. I know I'm not that great at writing poems. Usually they're just thoughts all jumbled together, but this time I tried to give it some form that looked halfway decent. Comments appreciated.

...wow. I don't normally read much poetry, but wow. This was worth it. You've used just the right words and superb pacing to bring this together and form a somewhat depressing, yet very revealing piece. I don't know how many people are aware, but there is a very calm and slow Christian song called "What Child is This" *shrug* It made me think of it...and just added some minor religious undertones.

Great work, ryan. :) (Smile) Keep it up and I hope things are doing alright.
:iconkmdigital:

oh.. hey this is good stuff ryan =D (Big Grin) i really liked the 3rd and 4th stanzas, especially the line about sugar coated walls. keep on writing, you're pretty good :) (Smile)

Halfway decent indeed. Since you mention you don't usually write poetry and whatnot I will spare you the technical critiques. It is a worn-out subject though...
