I stand trapped in a room of dread and gloom
It's almost as if the world is doomed
The colors are less vibrant the sky is dense
When I try to look in front, all I see is a fence
Wishing for something different from a reality of sorrow
My positivity wears out, for which I need to borrow

I stand trapped in an array of dismay
Pondering the things that happened that day
Can I look up to the sky and say you are better?
Or is reality and religion all fictitious banter
Does Heaven exist and did you make it there?
Was the price you payed worth it's share?
Anger infuses, selfish in act for the suffering it's caused
Reflecting for hours, my time is paused

I stand trapped far away from reality
It feels that I am stuck here for eternity
Lost in a world so big with problem endless
Is this world as great as it says?
The night is young and this is how I think
I try to look up but my heart just sinks
What I would give to see you walk the aisle
To see you radiate your energy, and bring out a smile

The days move forward and while I still haven't felt the same
I still think about the good memories we had at the games
The time shared holds a place in my heart
Even if you are not around and we are far apart
I'll cherish the memories we always made
The love I have for you will never fade

To assess how good your poem is in my opinion I would need to know what your intent was in writing it. Would you like feedback?

The intent of this poem was to show to express the emotions I felt at the time of my friends suicide back in January. The first 3 paragraphs were written days after, while the final line was the reflection 6 months later and my thoughts ever since.
