Realms Of Life Poem by Nick Kler

I managed to cross
Every hurdle
Up until
Those that I love
Turn against me...
So I gave up everything
And start to live alone

Now, I find myself
Hiding in a dark, tiny corner
I have no enemies or friends
No wife nor kids
To share my life with

I laugh and I cry
I love and I die
But I do it all alone

Passing endless nights
Counting stars out of sight
But, my passions
They could not survive!

If your parents
Were never really there
In this vast world
of budding souls
And now you get this urge
You just console yourself
Or stand there alone
In the face of Life
Every night at midnight

So, I slowly kill myself
Trying to cross that final hurdle
Too scared to do it on my own
Badly bruised from the night's before
I am carrying with me
A dead smoldering soul

Hanging upside down
From the realms of Life
Quietly taking blows of time
Every moment alive
