A New Poem

I’m lying here in bed
Wondering,
What’s the point

Of walking through this life

And all it’s pain and suffering?



My life isn’t actually that bad.

I have food to eat and

I’m not living on the street,

But tunnel vision triumphs

As heartache haunts me.



Sometimes it clamps

On like a vise,

And it gets hard to breathe.

Other times it comes in waves,

Blowing through like the wind on

A cold autumn day,

But it never truly seems to go away.



Clouds of despair

Linger in the air and

I can’t help but think

This life is just a cruel joke;

That someone, somewhere

Far off in the distance, is watching

And laughing

As if we were all pawns

In an experiment gone awry.



Even when the sun peeks through

The dark gloom,

Trying to offer a glimmer of hope,

I think,

What’s the point?
