Darkness
A Poem by
Arthur Aadams
walking the path of depression
Darkness ahead. Darkness behind. Dead, dreadful breaths.
Scary walls, sharp walls, narrow walls. Sad groping, blind steps, swallowing scraps of courage. Sliced hands, toxic tears, tired legs, bitter blood. Soft, exhausted moans.
Slow pace.
Step.
by.
Step.
Shattered road, sharp road, sickening road. Stockholm love for involuntary pain.
Where is the light hiding? When is the end of this tunnel?
Only the valiant keep walking.

Author's Note
Note the use of alliteration, also, when you're in a very long tunnel you can't see the end, only after walking a couple of minutes you see a really small light dot. I got the inspiration while hiking in the Ardennes with my class (we walked through a tunnel like this, scary stuff)

The alliteration carried this already beautiful and thought provoking piece! Nicely put Arthur. This was one of my favorite reads yet!

Yes yes, you are indeed very like me i see, your choice of words and the way that you put them together almost creates a very unnerving yet content image.

The alliteration really made an impact on the poem and I really enjoyed reading it. It reminded me of a scary story i once heard.
