And my eyes refuse to see

Well done, my friend. I am so glad this poem was chosen. Well deserved. You are an inspiration to so many of us. Congrats'! 10+++
The poem brings out the images of the inner self of someone with a bruised soul with this desperate expression- ' Leave me to my senses.... And the darkness of a room', I would like to repeat the words of Seamus O' Brian here '. We are left helpless, and somewhat pessimistic, but with a few threads of hope left to which we grasp'. Thanks.
Despite best efforts and wishes one can't remain original sometimes. People at time won't accept as what you are and would like to see you in their eyes. You have to escape and remain in close confine. It happens with most of us. Very nicely done. Congrats.
A wonderful poem indeed as the life sees itself. An poetic introspection ending with hope. Heartiest congratulations for getting it selected a the poem of the day.10
Me - so outward changed that I seem not to maintain a singular character....beautiful lines of a reflective poem of life's changes. Out ward changes are so visible that we lose track of what is always unchanged in us. But it always invokes our senses to feel something deeper. Congratulations for the member poem place and thanks for sharing.

The rabid reality of reality is here creatively composed in this compelling composition that is filled with introspection and decisions. Well done!
Congratulations, Romeo, for having this selected as poem of the day! Well done, indeed.
One cannot change himself completely but our friends and acquaintances wants a complete change. One who is helpless to change himself, is so much frustrated by demands of others that he confines himself in a dark room. It happens with all of us and during such moments of dejection loneliness is the best answer. The poet has nicely described this state of humans. A wonderful poem and well deserved selection as the members poem of the day. Congratulations.
We do not know our path but if we are happy enough to just go with it, taking slight detours life can be eventually what we want it to be. Thank you

nother page, another grave For yesterday's treasure- The sustaining pursuit Or a self-made uncertainty, A need for growth or freedom- What does it mean- but me or you- Alive with possibility, Owning nothing to the past but this? Keep this way of thinking up, in spite of the philosophical void you suffer from. Thanks for this poem.10 for it. Subhas
We all go through this phase, some get bogged down and some stand straight, to learn about self it we all must do on a regular basis. Rightly deserves POTD, Congrats.
Another page, another grave For yesterday's treasure- The sustaining pursuit Or a self-made uncertainty, A need for growth or freedom- Beautifully written. Thanks.10 for it.
The entire poem is kind of introspection by the poet who is in search of answers to his philosophical queries. I think such things do happen to all at one time or the other. Thanks: - ...extinguished, ... Is the lamp that once lit up... My life with purpose...
The ups and downs of life.. Congratulations on this well written poem. Keep up the great work.... blessings you always.
