Futility
Rating: ★4.9
A life without hope is a dismal existence
try as hard as you might, it's just futile persistence
Drab days far out number the bright days
dark clouds forever block out the sun rays
blue jays are chased away by death-loving vultures
I am unable to enjoy humanities customs and cultures
Sad, sorry solitude
frivolously feigning fortitude
daring to deviate
from pain that won't alleviate
That this will never end is my greatest fear
hoping for a pill that will make my pain disappear

A very intense poem, searching for a way to alleviate inner pain and fear, a stark reality penetrating mind and heart, looking for a quick fix known not to exist. A very compelling and honest portrayal and depiction of one of life's hardest feelings/thoughts to deal with, the futility of a hopeless existence. Great write, I give you a 10. Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn

I don't consider myself an expert on writing poetry so I don't usually comment in that regard, but I think you could tighten it up a bit.

I like the articulation and insight of the poem. The only pill here is Faith - which is acting on what one believes in. NO FAITH NO MIRACLE. Thanks for sharing.please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Good thoughts, well expressed. That you can always benefit from well-meaning assessment is the mark of a good writer. The next step is to read good poetry. Read mine - Brush Strokes -

I like the honesty, vulnerability and transperency that this poem implores with in a powerful way. The fact that these dark words are able to be presented gives credence to the idea that hope for a more meanigful and joyous existence is not unfounded. Good writing.
