Carried by the winds of despair
I fade into the oblivion of time
Forgotten as I am broken
By the ones I thought would care

A void in the depths of my mind
A black hole in the heart of my soul
A canyon where all is lost
Memories I do not rewind

Love is beyond my grasp
Like the rest of the world to me
Ugly I am the leper
I cannot remove this mask

Broken pieces of a time glass
Haunt me with a secret message
A never ending prophecy
Of failures I cannot pass

try suffering with morgellons.

THEN re-assess your "suffering".

are you healthy? do you have friends and family that love you?

go enjoy them!

many people have life a billion times worse than you.
quit writing self-pitying over exxaggerated goth-kid crap.

A psychological disorder?

Nothing better than a person who goes on the internet and assumes stuff about a persons life.

I'd tell you about my "suffering" but you are too much of a presumptuous ass to even take the time.

Interesting... rather dark and forbidding. What was your muse?

Your rhyme scheme is cool! I'm incapable of not using iambic pentameter, I would probably have written something like:

On winds of despair
I fade into time,
Forgotten and broken
For light doesn't shine.

If you wish to criticize the poem in order to make it better, then comments are welcome.

If you wish to criticize the poet, then they are not, since this is a WRITING FORUM and not a psychiatric couch.

Please comment on the topic and not the poster.

There really isn't any specific drive when I write. Its a collection of everything before me in a certain perspective put into words.

As far as the rhyme scheme, I dont usually put much effort into making it rhyme, I just more or less experiment with it. change the pace and see how it comes out.
