NOTE: I added two more poems inside the poem below. Please read the full, original poem first, and then follow the directions at the bottom of this post.

A Difference

Hours trudge by, causing bouts
of restlessness, only able to bathe in the
loneliness that plagues so many hearts...
drain the strength I need in
my efforts to escape -
easement comes no more.

And...

Pain that's slowly numbing me
returns me to that heartless place
over all obstacles, in a void -
time is too slow, once again...
echoing dissonance colors my mind,
calamitous uprisings push me down,
thoughts are too much, once again...
malcontentedly hopeful of the
evaded light that I seek.

But...

Time does not mean infinite -
ends are shone upon everything...
laments will come and go and come again,
leaving worthwhile experience throughout
memorable heartache...
essence of living is always there,
in the most sorrowful plight even so,
trailing beyond the hurt and among the
stars so eternally true...
of matters worse than my mind does know,
knowledge of a portion still stings in my soul,
always in joy, always in pain,
yearning for a place in this truth.

Okay, so now for the two last poems...

...You probably already noted the first of the two, as I made the first letter of each line in bold...well, that's one of the last two poems. If you haven't noticed it, then just read the FIRST LETTER of each line all the way down. It spells something.

And for the LAST poem...well, just read the FIRST WORD of each line, all the way down.

Hehe.
