The Pillar

A Pillar that stands all alone
After others have all come and gone

Continuously supporting, as is it's duty
Holding nothing back and giving completely

Out in plain sight, but totally unseen
No one hears its silent scream

The ache of loneliness never healed
The void of happiness never filled

The quiet urge to be worth more
But never having an open door

The constant burden weighing heavily
I am that pillar; that pillar is me

About this poem:
This is the first poem that I have posted on this site, and actually I've never showed this poem to anyone before.
I definitely do not consider myself a very good poet, and I do not write regularly. Just sometimes when I'm really emotional about something, I start to rhyme a little. As in this case, I was feeling pretty down; alone and just not seen, even though I try to be and do everything right.

Cnote: a worthy first post, is it Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian?...no matter, a Herculean effort to put it before the world...ok, maybe just the poets here at the corner, but all are worthy, all are welcome! ;-)

My sentiments have been well expressed by those who have commented before me! Great piece for a 'first poem'... nice portrayal of lonesomeness by comparrison to a tangable object such as a solitary pillar! Seems the world supports many of them! You get a gold star from me! wink
