I am a terrible person, with only feelings of sorrow.


Overwhelmed with regrets from yesterday & for tomorrow.


I wish for happiness, but only for reality to be silent.


I work for happiness, but only to be given mistreatment.


Flames of darkness consume my soul.


I understand nothing on the whole.


Finding others for comfort, an impossible task.


I hide my hideous face behind a mask.


Scorned, I am, & forgotten by all.


Mourned, I will not be, for it seems to be the law.


I have feelings of love.


But I am undeserving of.


I am fated to stay alone, even if I please others.


Others will not moan, as they will be with their lovers.


I allow others to use me for purposes of haze.


But I can never receive any praise.


Ungrateful fools; wretched they be.


Lucky ghouls; at least they are free.


Quite a horrible tragedy.


Perhaps it's a sort of macabre comedy.


There are those who say I am handsome.


Those who say that must be being held for ransom.


I know not why I was made.


All I know is that I'm afraid.


Crossing the threshold of the world was a mistake.


No one will ever understand my heart ache.


My lament of innocence will fall on deaf ears.


My descent of dissonance will be with tears.


Is there a chance for at friendship at least?


I believe not, as I am a forgotten beast.


This is my lament.


I am filled with torment.


I will be in the darkness.


My life all but aimless.


I await my fated meeting with Death.


I slowly draw my breath.


The forest is covered in shadow.


I finally arrive at the meadow.


There is but only one destination


My existence, it is one of aggravation.


I will not be missed.


I have never been kissed.


The end is nigh.


None will cry.


I pray that no one will suffer the same fate as I.


I say that the ones who have friends have no reason to cry.


The shadow is coming from the bend.


Perhaps I can be his friend.


Farewell.
This is a poem I wrote almost a year ago. It's about a man who can't even find friends or someone to love. His lament pretty much goes about unheard.

It's kind of grim. It's not explicit by any means, but very dark. If you're looking for a bright, bubbly kind of poem, you may want to avoid reading this.
