Is this how most of us lead our lives? lost in our own world of trivial desires and spiteful emotions? you have described it beautifully Steve.

unwitting to his diseased insanity.
Unable to accept the world,
lost inside his own timeless cocoon.

these lines are so thought provoking.

Remarkable piece of work

hope you are doing okay

Wow! Deep, sad and moving... A damn good write Steve!!!

An excellent piece.The sadness and bitterness is conveyed so well and I can so relate to much of this poem-made me stop and think about my own life (more sadness and regret on my part than the bitterness-but still touched me deeply).Extremely well written, excellent imagery and such a powerful ending.
