The Darkness within “Me!”

Everyday a little piece of me dies and although i look happy on the outside, inside i am drowning. Heard some saddening and heart wrenching news last night and this poem is describes Me at this point!

The Darkness within “Me!”

 

There’s a burial ground of sadness

That is embossed within my soul

 

Everyday a new grave is dug

And everyday another shattered dream

Another pointless hope is buried within.

 

Today as I sit in the comfort of my home

Admiring the beauty that this day holds

The calm gentle cool breeze,

The trees swaying from side to side

As though they were dancing a slow waltz

The birds chirping a song and the sound of the passing cars.

I get lost in a sudden silence

As clouds fill my eyes

I see clearly another piece of my heart falls in an empty grave and is buried forever

And helpless all I can do is watch!

 

As I regain my senses,

The realization of what I just witnessed sinks in

The beauty that surrounds me gets sucked into a whirlpool of black and grey clouds

As though a storm where forming

 

A piece of me died the night before

What I felt today was just an after shock

 

Inside me I am screaming and crying out loud

But I cannot hear the voice of “ME”

On the outside you can see

A calm, peaceful and happy �" me

But no one will ever know or hear or see

The storm that has taken over inside of �" me

 

For another part of my soul

Has been consumed by the unseen darkness

That is destroying “Me”

Slowly slowly �" but no one will ever see!

A dark desperation hangs over so much of this well written poem. Then there is the beauty of "The calm gentle cool breeze. The trees swaying from side to side." It is almost a tease! Depression is a horrible disease. You have described it eloquently. It is not good to keep that sort of darkness inside you where it can fester. Talking about it...even in a poem....is very healthy. I hope this poem was a catharsis for you. I wish you good luck. Lydi**

Hey Lydia,
thank you so much for your review and kind words.
Yes this was a catharsis for me. I usually write down my feelings in poems because i am not good at expressing myself to people. Many say i have no emotions cause i dont reveal such emotions to people and the best way i have to express "Me" is through writing what is within.

I appreciate you kind words it means alot to me. Thank you so much.

The angst and pain within us needs a voice, just as much as the joy. It is when we suppress those feelings that they inevitably break us down. Look upon "writing" as a vehicle, something that gives you cause to escape, to be the "you" you want the world to see!

I have no doubt you will shine! Take care, sweet girl!
