Withering World We live In

Amongst all this depressing shit
I'll regret being part of it
Because deep inside my self I know
There are things I can do to save a soul
So when I walk by please tell me your fears
I swear I'll stop to listen, I'll stop the tears
I won't laugh and joke, I won't turn and shrug
I'll simply thank you with an embracing hug
Because I know how it feels to have no one to talk to
Even now, I'm familiar with the colors black and blue
But over the years of the emotional meetings
I ignore the pain, I can take the beatings
I don't want you to go though the pain
Holding everything in and having your heart strain
Let me tell you I care for your life
And let me reach for your hand, and take away the knife

    ^^ Magnificent ending. I think this sums the piece up wonderfully.

    5/5 great job, though I have to say that without punctuation, your flow was a bit of a challenge.

    Wow, this poem really makes the reader think. Not think like oh what was he feeling, but think about the world around the and just how right you are. I think you have done a magnificent job penning this piece. Your emotion is so clear, your voice is strong yet somehow friendly, your tone was saddned while sprinkled with tiny bits of hope. I absolutely love this piece. It speaks to me and tells me something about you. I hope if you really feel this way things get or got better. Though I can relate in a way to this piece. Excellent, nay, Extraordinary job. This is for sure going on my list of favorite pieces and you are going on my list of favorite authors.
