Awesome poem there mang! And I agree with Scejnt, this should be a floaty. You never know who will want to post a poem they've written or who will access this thread days or months later and think "Hey... I feel just like that!"
Here's one that just came to mind a few moments ago.
This World Around You
In the dark, staring at nothing.
Unable to see what is in front of me,
My voice screaming.
In the light, watching the birds sing.
Eyes, slowly adjusting, begin to see,
My voice singing.
In the streets, dodging the people fleeing.
Vision obscures, reaching for safety,
My voice pleading.
In the country, viewing the sun setting.
Smiling, breathing, blinking in the breeze,
My voice mending.
What does it take to stop
For just a moment and see...
To see this world around you,
the one you've always been missing?

Here's an old poem I wrote one day while sitting around. I posted it here a long while back, but only three people responded to it. Please note, I wasn't suicidal when I wrote this, just very very thoughtful.
The Price I Pay
The price I pay to be with you
Isn't jewelry or flowers.
My love I give to you
And my time I give you hours.
The price I pay for companionship
Isn't my possessions or money.
My friendship I give to you
And all that I have within me.
The price I pay for patience
Isn't my words or views.
My silence I give to you
And whatever else I can do.
The price I pay to hold on
Isn't thought or worry.
My strength I give to you
And my outstretched hand in remedy.
I bled for you on that day...
I stood up for you on that day...
I smiled at you on that day...
I reached for you on that day...
... when you broke my heart.
... when you betrayed my heart.
... when you angered my heart.
... when you let go of my heart.
The price I pay to live...
Is something I have lost.
