Untitled

I exist in a life of confinement and deep regret. I live with doubts if I really have that potential they speak of. I live a life afraid of being an outcast and having a common fate, asking myself about the purpose of life, suffocated by the consistent pestering of parents and friends, feelings of entrapment and betrayal by the few I thought I had, wondering why we treat our souls with such ruthlessness. I awake in tears and cold sweats and I ask myself is this really reasonable for an eighteen-year-old? But I accept my short coming with open arms. With the realization that these nights of cries of loneliness bring a better understanding of life. I still haven't found simplicity. I've laid my head down and the pressure never stops. My heart is cold and dreams of death and visions of murders have become too tranquil. Regrettably, I search for myself. I search for ACCEPTANCE.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Fell into a different world. Tried to view life through the eyes of every troubled teenager in the world. Hope I was there because it sure felt like it.

Hey Samir. I like this poem a lot. Mostly because you have reflected what everyone is going through or has gone through. There are so few who are happy with themselves unconditionally, but too few who are afraid to admit so.
