Misery Poem by eboni paul

Misery

Rating: 5.0


Misery brought on by my father’s neglectful ways,
Disrespect to him will shorten my days.
I find love within drugs,
Rather than fathers hugs.
Even though he was always there,
His actions made me feel like he didn’t care.
Praying to the lord to take my soul,
Eboni, hold on be bold those are the words I was told.
No one knows the tears I shed,
Lying down in my bed.
Everyday death passes through my mind,
Smiles and laughter is what I hide behind.
On the outside you would take me as strong and sturdy because of the words I speak,
But internally I’m timid, delicate, and weak.
I don’t want to die but I don’t want to live,
So much of me I am willing to give.
There’s not one day I don’t think about giving up,
But in this life I’m stuck,
However I would try to stay,
Maybe I will find happiness one day.

I just read two or three of your poems and the tears fall like rain. I understand, to some extent we all do. You are not alone. Poetry can save lives or at least make them longer. I had to wait more than thirty years for the 'gift' to arrive. Stay around, and see what happens. GW62

Awsome. The thing that I love about your poetry is that you have been through so much in life, but yet you still go on. It's amazing how you can put all your thoughts and emotions into your poems.
