Useless...Useless...Useless...Useless (This Isn't Poetry, This is Pain)

Contributed by bobotheclown on Monday, 11th October 2004 @ 12:49:01 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



My hands are tied behind my back
My lips move, but always chew on nothingness
Choking back tears until they consume me
Praying to no longer exist
So cold, so tired, so infinitely lost

Carved up with serrated kisses
My past now the searing present
Tears drip from my face and arms
Useless...useless...useless...useless
Smiles have fled long ago

An aching weight (I wait)
As fear tears me apart
My carefully built walls
(All these years lost in a second)
So sick, so vulnerable, so...

Stabbing myself with red hot pokers
Deprivation, Mutilation, Emotionally
I search for that vein (in vain)
Surrounded by only the whistling cold
And the voices so loud, so h(a)unted

Give in with a meek whisper of discontent
And then fall so fast into the valley
Drinking from this bloodied stream
That I contaminated (so guilty)
So deep this wellspring of doubt

Falling, falling, I've fallen
Torn apart skin
A serene (disturbed) smile
As the chant becomes louder
Useless...useless...useless...useless

Wow this is heart wrencing sad but very well said.
All poetry can't always be good if we are honest with ourselves. No reason to apologize for what u feel.
I hope by now u r feeeling much better tho.
I really don't know what triggered these feelings but u r in my prayers.
Please hang in there friend as u r luved by many on this site and I'm sure none of us see u as useless.
Luv, huggs, faith, hope, courage, strength,
emy

wow, this really good, youve captured the emotions so wondefully, my favourite bit would have to be:
Stabbing myself with red hot pokers
Deprivation, Mutilation, Emotionally
I search for that vein (in vain)
Surrounded by only the whistling cold
And the voices so loud, so h(a)unted

its amazing, its poetry and pain as one.

Fantastic. Psychotic you may have been, but your grasp of the langauge persisted throughout your darkest hour. A big fan of wordplay myself, the "h(a)unted" and other parenthesized portions put a smile firmly on my face. It's definitely a gem to come upon depression so well expressed--and while offering my condolences, I also offer you utmost praise. The workings of this poem played my heart like a fine-tuned instrument, and struck chords so personal it was as if they were mine.

Once again, fantastic.

~The Palatine Poet.

Wow Joel...Wow. That was amazing, so empty if you know what I mean... I could feel the pain in me too, memories of the past ya know? You did an amazing job of imagery and just describing how it feels. I also love how you put some stuff in brackets after it, to add in to your poem... like (I wait) and (in vain) and h(a)unted. That really added to it. I'm glad you're making it through pain like this. I need you around on msn ;) lol.

Great write, catch ya later.

You had me pretty early on with this piece... it was:

so infinitely lost

... that grabs me and drew me in. The remainder of the piece held me - though, it was heartwrenching to read.

This (as so clearly evident by the other comments here) is a powerful and moving piece. Well constructed, emotive.

Hoping you're a few steps away from this write by now,
SNM

joel, this...i can't, i don't know what to say. you have a gift, so deep and so wholly yours that it takes my breath away. you tell so many people that you wish you could write like them, when you just need to open your eyes and realise, that you are one of the most talented people i know. your words flow through me...there's an honestly that allows every person to enter your mind and feel these feelings, and it burns. smile, darling, the sun's shining for you today xxx
