Existence Is Futile - (An Original Work)

Futile


Do I mean nothing to you?
Are my words whispers in your ears?
And do I pale and vanish in your eyes?
I didn't think so, then why is it that I seem not to exist to you.

Why is it that one day I'm the world to you
The next, fit for fodder.
Why is it that no matter how hard I try,
My efforts go unnoticed.

I think I shall just stop trying.
For this is the way of wounding.
If I spent my time solidifying myself,
Perhaps I would be stronger.

Better able to resist the lures put before me
The feminine wiles, temptations of the flesh.
Should I just withdraw from it all,
Make my existence, unknown..

Futile..


A little more intensity with this one. I hope you enjoy!<3

I must say that this poetry is truly amazing. The best part of this poem is that it is written in a very lucid way, the word, the phrases everything is in a clear way but the way it's meaning has turned out to be, it gives the poetry a lot of feel. Simple and deeply filled with feelings I would say. And the feelings you have portrayed in such simple words is remarkable.

Thank you, your praise leaves me beyond words to respond in kind, I.. am speechless. Thank you again.<3

This is so sweet of you. You're worthy all these appreciations and I look forward towards reading more of your work. I hope you'll keep astonishing people with the simple poetry with bewildering meanings of them. Keep writing and stay happy.
Have a nice day. :)

Thank you again! I will be sure to bring more of my simple words to steem-it, especially if you enjoy them so much. Have a wonderful day. <3 :)

Dude, this one was deep. Not all poetry is sunshine and butterflies. I like the emotion that this one captures. Truly felt like this one was from the heart with raw emotion.

I was at a low when I wrote this one. I tried to capture the feelings with the words as best as I possibly could. Glad you enjoyed it. <3

In love with your writing! Your speak to my soul in words I cannot find... #number1fan

I'm so glad you like it <3333, it was a very tough/scary choice to publish this.

Brilliant words.
Keep going dude.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Was a troubling time for me and difficult to share.

Fantastic writing, pretty intense... And that's been said by someone who isn't easily impressed by poems. You got me :)

Thank you for your kind words, I will try to bring more of my musings here for all to enjoy. <3

A melancholy, unsettled, troublesome soul feigning to be loved, deteriorating passion is a non-existence proverbial to a vain reverie.

Such heartbreak, I felt every word of that. Been through much the same, it's not a nice feeling.

Very humbling post, thank you for sharing - great poetry.

You are welcome. <3
