Drifter

by ShadowDancer   Feb 22, 2006


Drifting though the day
Conversing as usual
Ignoring what she feels inside
Putting up her facade

Listening listlessly
Doing as she's asked
Trying to make them happy
Never mind herself

She's not angry
At those around
Nor is she sad
She dosn't cut

She feels empty
Nothing seems important
She's a hollow shell
Nothing inside

She hates pain
She hates the thought of it
But she wishes
It would all just end

She hopes one day
There will be a mishap
And fate will
Take care of that

Yet is she lets out
If her mask falls
They think she's sad
Or something's wrong

Their attempts to help
Most kind hearted
Some not so
Are useless

Nothing they can do
She just continues
But waits for fate
To finish her off

    Ruby,
    Not my favorite. i didnt like the fact that some stanzas rhymed and others didnt. it threw mye off a little. was about halfway through and it rhymed so i had to scroll up to see if it rhymed all the, rhymed..i like both poems that rhyme and those that dont but i reall ydont care for ones that do both and not on a structed basis. sorry. i like the theme though. its nice to read a poem about just not caring instead of 'i hate my life kill me not im so sad and depressed..wahh waaaa' lol.
