The following poem is sad, so if you're looking for an uplifting one please back away now.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

We live on pain and feed on strife

We thrive on anger, disgust and envy

You may look at us, and see how we only get stronger

With every curse and disgusted glare we face

We seem like we're unkillable, infallible, unbreakable

But only when the sun soars in the sky,

For when night comes, and darkness reigns.

All our emotions that we've held

Come out, bursting through these worn out seams

For we are not truly strong

We are not truly happy

We are not truly confident

That is but facade that we have donned, 

To prevent people from seeing just how close we are from going under

Where every night, the smiling mask shatters into shards 

That rips our soul and tears our hearts.

If you looked closely at our tears

You would see they are crimson

And perhaps you would care, but it would be too late

For we're no longer here

We scream daily, and you all hear, yet it goes out the other ear.

There are even some who we talk face to face

But to leave only defeated

And so we are the silent, and we are the calm

But it is only the calm before the storm.

For now we are only,

Shades created by our present, and monsters created by our past

The denizens of the night that do not come out to play

The people of the day that walks the streets with you

And so I ask, do you have the need to help us?

Or do you want to run away?

Decided that I will most likely post multiple poems that I will write/wrote so might as well create a post where I can do that.

I say you've changed

or is it I?

Is it I who has been consumed with darkness?

devouring what light we have once shared together.

Or is it you who has shined too brightly?

erasing all darkness that once cloaked us from others.

Changing us forever

where saying "hello," is but a chore.

Or is it just time's river that separated us in two divides

Where promises we have made are swept clean from the shore of time's beginning.

On that shore where hardships were never known

and friendships were thought to last forever.

Or is it maybe just a twist of fate

never letting me journey beside you,

or to see you face to face

perhaps it's time for me to let go of you,

of all the time we've spent together

and all those nights, where I longed for your touch

to sooth these fears of mine.

If this is truely fate's hand

then I shall thank you, for being in my life

for giving me your grace, so that I could find my own.
