At night I sit alone and watch the shadows dance around. I hold my breath and listen yet, silence is the only sound. I reach for some comfort yet feel no embrace. I am tired of the emptiness and loneliness of this place. I can feel no more hurt because I have learned to live with my pain. I often wonder how I survived and continue to stay sane. I have hurt so deeply and cried too many tears. I have been empty and broken for so long, I am tired of pretending that I am fine and that everything is okay. I am tired of hiding behind this mask I wear every day. This mask, this lie this that tells everyone I'm okay. I have drifted so far and can no longer be saved. These feelings hold me captive and to them I am their slave.

I enjoyed this very much! Good job and very expressive. What would make it great would be if you wrote it in a more defined poem format (it'd be easier to read).

Black on black?
Creative idea. At first I thought that nothing was here, but I got the idea to highlight it and see. Then I could read it. XD I understand the meaning behind your words, they hold great weight with me. It is amazing how the human mind, emotion in particular, works. ^_^ I really enjoyed reading this. The only thing you might want to work on is your line spacing on this one. The words form a paragraph, which isn't very poetry-like, if you know what I mean. Well, nice job anyway!
