    Failure

    I walk alone down this endless path
    A journey I discovered so long ago
    Countless years of forgotten memories
    Dreams of destruction only I know
    I scream so loud, yet can not be heard
    For this silence echoes through my soul
    A nightmare I can not seem to escape
    Haunting me through this lurking pain
    My heart has fallen into emptiness
    My thoughts cloudy through visions
    I feel no more what I can see
    An aching that rages through my body
    My mind replaying every destructive memory
    Words repeated through this silence
    A deafening cry I can not escape
    Tears are shed through a broken dream
    I forget who I have become
    Knowing I am my own source of sorrow
    Desperate to fight for what I can not have
    Yet seeing destruction I have caused
    I am to blame for my own failures
    For I can not escape this life I created
    I destroyed a future I could not see
    I took for granted a gift I did not know
    My ability to see beyond my strengths
    Has been drowned by hateful reminders
    Now all I see is the darkness that surrounds me
    A pain hidden in a shadow of remembrance
    I know not what I feel is real
    So I wait for my grave to set me free
    From a life I do not belong to
    And an idea that was forgotten so long ago..

    This poem is so awesome I read each word as if I was saying them myself. I really love this one of all.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
