Love Poem: My Misery

My Misery

Inspiration nowadays seems 
to have left or died
I feel lost and unsure, 
as misery eats me from inside.

Everything around me 
appears dull an uninviting
As if joy has departed 
to see to its own liking

My once strong faith in the future, 
now looks hazy from where I stand.
Feeling unabashed and uninspired 
it’s forcing me to hold your hand

Not knowing who to turn to, 
or where to search for the light.
Blindfolded by life running around 
in circles I’m falling deep into the night.

Shouting out in silence hoping 
someone will hear my plea
Drowning into inexistence 
Is like a slow death to me.

Finding it almost impossible
To fit in or pull through
I need an escape from reality
A place that I belong to

Feeling alone sometimes
And too different from the world
I need a happy medium
In which my potential can be twirled

Struggling to follow my heart and intuitions
That have been silenced by the rational mind
I fight to infiltrate this wall that grows
And buries you from behind

Suffering from the lack 
of care and attention I find myself astray.
Perhaps I need someone 
But not just anyone in whose arms I could stay


To help me paint the skies with words 
that linger in the heart no matter what
To fill the senses of the world with
The love that they forgot

To rise above the melancholy that’s
Been ripping up my heart
And fulfill my dreams and aspiration
That keep me going from the start

So it seems that you’re my only hope from 
Committing an inspirational theft
So please don’t forsake me 
For you are all that I’ve got left.
