Waves of Solitude, Tyrant of Despair

[wastedwalrus]

Just a little shitty poem I wrote as means of venting. Just wondering what you think... I'm not much of a poet.


"Waves of Solitude, Tyranny of Despair"

Upon waves of solitude
I drift without end.
A dismal isolation
That never fails to impend.

I withdrawl from the world,
So sinful and vain.
Clenching and grasping,
Mere thoughts are to blame.

And it goes without saying,
Kept safely and silent,
That nothing could slay
Or conquer this tyrant.

I did a lot of it last year, but it was influenced by depression and wasn't intended to be refined or even poetic... it was simply means of venting.

This was pretty much the same... I felt bad, I through some shit together to feel better. I certainly agree about the cliche theme, but I'm not sure what else would encourage me to write.

i like to look around me, notice ironies or interesting novelties about life...

like the "pain relief (tylenol)" poem... i look for stuff like that to inspire me all the time, and once you start looking, its everywhere.

Yeah but unless the topic is something I have strong feelings about, I just don't see how I could get the words to flow. I'm going to practice what you said though. Thanks.
