About the Poem

This poem I wrote January 11, 1999, and I wrote this for any one who has ever said "I understand" because in fact they don't. They can't. I don't look at the world, I look in the world.

Through My Eyes

by Kimberly

Like tyrants assembled with tears
Trembling like a tomb
And singing like a statue
I am as empty as the ocean.
My blind eyes scream in silence
So this eternal echo will be known.
Given to the foils of time,
And shattered like plate glass-
You freeze within the fire.
Darkness now lives at daylight,
And shadows turn to the ghosts.
With all that shined is hollow
You imagine unconsciously.
And pretending to sleep you realize,
Nothing is what it seems.

i think this is a fantastic poem. it's sad but it's soo true. the world around us is different in the eyes of depression. if you have any more poems send them to me.

no one can walk in your footsteps or see what you see. no one can change you or heal your broken fall. unless you let them to understand it all. darkness creeps and crawls like shadows to scare us all.

You said at the very beginning,about the thing telling a little about the poem,that this was for people who said that they understand. People do understand,because everyone goes through a time of depression whether they are willing to admit it or not. Ive gone through it,so whether you like it or not,your not alone,people do understood. Though i actually thought your poem was really good.
