Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Yami

(“Yami” is Japanese for “darkness”)

Swirling darkness all around
It's all I hear, the only sound

Is this what life is?
A black, unending abyss?

I was told I was special, did they lie?
If not, why am I so lost? Why?

I fall deeper into the pit
That's all there is, this is it

This is life now, endless black.
I don't know if I can ever go back

To the old days that shone like the sun
I remember the smiles, I remember the fun

But I can't have that now, it's all gone
There's nothing, those days are done

I'm alone, I always will be
I'm unwanted, I must be

Alone... Unwanted... Unloved
