The Darkness

A poem of dark emotions and experiences.

There are no boundaries no rules to follow,
no hope for peace just pain and sorrow,
its consuming me, imprisoning me,
I can't escape, I can't break free.

It runs through my veins, it's the air I breathe,
locked up in chains, I cannot cry nor grieve,
I have no escape, no way out,
I bleed I'm in pain but I cannot shout.

My emotional cuts are too deep,
to stitch up, blood slowly seeps,
from my wounds, my darkness, my pain,
like a storm aimless without the rain.

I drift all day empty and torn,
some days I wish I'd never been born,
the blood is calming, they are only small,
I yell for help but no one hears my call,
its like I don't exist at all.

I'm dead to them, a distant part of the abuse,
will I ever be cut loose from the noose,
or am I to remain stuck in this empty shell,
stemming from the nightmares of my daily hell.

I want to cut, I want to run,
I'm unraveling, I've come undone,
save me, take me, end it today,
let the angels take me away.

I feel the emotions coming from this write. Its raw and pulls on the heart. I love the line "like a storm aimless without the rain" its really beautiful. Sounds to me like the storm needs the rain to wash away and renew, but the rain is nowhere to be found so it wanders aimless, still 'dirtied/hurt' from life.

From the flag on the child's face, it seems like you're Palestinian and your complaint is of the Jews' treatment towards you or your countrymen, if you don't live there. Others from other ends of the world really don't know the crimes the Israelite commit against your people, for most media outside of the Middle East don't bother covering the conflict. The occupation has lasted for more than fifty years and I cannot tell you when it will be over. Perhaps the hour will be the decisive moment when the Lord gathers them and undoes them all, but there is no telling. This was nicely written. It's very poignant and reflects the pain you feel. It needs some editing, and perhaps some more intricate vocabulary would do the work more justice. Overall, great write. Never stop expressing yourself and let others know about the truth.
