The forbidden door

by master of shadow   Jan 27, 2006


Hidden in the shadows,
Is the sole escape,
The lone way out of this world,
The forbidden door,
Its name is whispered is secret,
Becomes the "S-word" to many,
Its presence is denied.
Its use looked down upon,
"It is a permeate solution,
To a temporary problem",
Is often said,
But is this truly believed?
This door calls to many,
Promises freedom,
Promises escape,
Its price may be high,
But it's one I'm willing to pay,
There is nothing left here,
It is time to move on,
I am sorry to you all,
But I cannot stay strong,
Been faking for too long,
And cannot do it anymore,
Cannot put on this show,
Act like everything will be fine,
So I'll say my last goodbyes,
And say I'm sorry for being weak,
I wish I could be stronger,
Wish I could remain,
But it's all I can think of,
All the time,
Trapped in this darkness,
With nothing else on my mind,
Drowning in the shadows,
Out of sight of all,
Dying deep inside,
So I am sorry once more,
But it will be better you will see,
Better for all,
Better without me.

    That almost brought me to tears, it hit that close to home. Its exactly what I've been feeling at the moment but just try to be strong, but on the sorry act and show for everyone. Nobody said life would be easy. Suicide is cowardice.

    Anyway, back to the poetry. I wouldn't have this much to say about it if I didn't feel this strongly. It has a good solid rhyme scheme(if you could complicate it a bit it might sound better, then again it might ruin the effect) It was very well put togethor and well structured. An interesting title that reveals itself through the poem.

    Great Work

    This is amazing! Sad and deeply moving, it captues my soul. I know how you feel, but life's beautiful if you look at it in a different perspective. Don't give up. We need good writers like you.

    This is a very deeply touching poem, and in reading it I can see how strong the emotions truly are. But, though I am someone of very little significance, I just wanted to say...The world will not be better off without you, no matter how much you think it's true, all it takes is for one person to disagree. I know that maybe you wont see that yourself, but just by being in the world you make a difference.
    Though this is a very personal poem I found myself able to relate in ways. Beautiful and tragic, please keep writing.
