Nothing To Loose

Nothing To Loose1

Sitting here,2

Away from the world,3

Secluded from fun,4

No parties for me,5

Just come home and exist.6

I have no life,7

Nobody invites me,8

Sometimes I wonder if they ever,9

Notice me,10

Just sitting here.11

With no life,12

And few friends,13

What is there to strive for,14

Live to exist,15

And Exist to live,16

Just existing.17

Alone,18

Quiet,19

Wasting away,20

I am a waste.21

A waste of life,22

When I have no life to waste,23

While others go about,24

With whatever they do,25

I hang out at Wal-Mart,26

With no smile,27

Just a frown.28

I think I’m cool,29

But that’s not a fact,30

Just here in a small town,31

Nothing to do,32

Nothing to see,33

Just sitting here,34

Alone,35

Just me.36

Depression and Pain,37

The only ones who visit,38

The blade sooths me,39

When no one else cares.40

My phone grows with rust,41

My keyboard dies with wear,42

My chair has formed to me,43

My car doesn’t move,44

It has nowhere to go.45

Like an angel,46

I fell from the top,47

Fate will not free me,48

From a life of distress.49

Climbing back up,50

Will take far too long,51

Far too much energy,52

And I still might not make it.53

The will to try,54

Is gone and past,55

I had my chance,56

I’m lost in my mind.57

Cries of the past,58

Wail in the night,59

But I only see,60

My room with delight.61

The anguish of it all,62

Is far too much,63

I’ll end it all now,64

No one will fuss.65

    Overall I liked and you just spoke on behalf of me. The Wal-Mart/Smile/Frown lines kind of took me out of the "I'm very into this" mood for a sec though

    Well, the layout of the poem itself annoyed me, and, while, it seems to speak to some, it's words were just too bland for me.
    But, I think, if you worked on it a little bit, or wrote something else with...I don't know, more depth to it, it would delight souls all around.
    However, I'm not putting it down, I'm sure it helped you get your emotions out.

    yeah...know what ya mean in this poem. I knew exactly what you were talking about. It started off as kind of stating facts, then it went into the soulful rythem. I loved it.

    if not, i will judge you based on this one, but i would like it better if you could write a new one.

    It was very depressing which I suppose is the point of the poem. It was nicely written and showed a lot of pain and emotion. Great job! I enjoyed it very much!

    TO DARK FOR ME. A hard read especially for me. Not my cup of tea.

    This is...sad in an emo sort of way. I tend to stray away from the cliche pain, cutting, pity me poems. You have a nice way of making it all flow together, though.

    hmmm...the idea is good and the majority of the poem is good but in the middle it gets really repetative and toward the nd it get's kinda...i don't know...dead, as if it is lacking feeling.....

    Terrific piece. It sounds more like a poem than a story. It very heartfelt and I feel the depressing emotions flowing from the words.

    Um...not really a story...and I think you mean "Nothing to Lose"...getting the title right is important. On the plus side this reminded me of that song from Aladdin at one point, you know: "gotta eat to live, gotta live to eat" (hums the rest)...

    But other than that, real emo. Yeah. Real emo.
