Hollow Man

This is a poem I wrote some time ago and a friend recently read it and really liked it so I figured I would share it with whoever might stumble upon this site.

A shadowy existence
An outline of a man
Supported by his feet
Although he cannot stand
He raises up his voice
Although he cannot hear
He's so full of pain
But can't shed a tear
Then all at once
He feels God is near
Time to change his life
And it starts this year

Ah what the heck, here is another one.

Alone with his thoughts
In a dark lit room
What do they mean
They leave him so soon
If only he could capture one
And scream it out loud
Would if fall under the feet
Of a wandering crowd
Would they hear his voice
Or just pass him by
Alone in their thoughts
Until the day they die

Anyway, not sure they are any good but let me know what you think.

Those are pretty sweet poems and I can identify in different times in my life with the message. When did you write these and what inspired you?

I wrote them about a year and a half to two years ago. I can't really say what inspired them... It was a late night and I couldn't sleep.
