The Dark World

The Dark World

A Poem by Farhan Shaikh

It's been a while
I haven't seen the dawn
I remember old myself
When the sunshine's gone.
I don't know what to do
I don't know where to go.
I'm stuck in this night
For a really long time
There's no one to see
There's no one to talk
Wondering when will I
Stop my lonely walk.
When the rays will
hit into my eyes.?
When will once again
I'll be in the light?
These streets still haunts me
These trees still flaunts me.
I tried to aid but 
I'm still bleeding
Closed my eyes but 
I'm not sleeping.
Tears streaming down from my face
Lost something that i can't replace.
I know I'm full of wounds
But still I stand
These scars on my body
Makes me cry in strand.
Yes i hit the bottom 
But it's not lasting.
Yes I'm knocked down
But I'm not yet pinned
I can see the sky
Without any stars
Only moon up there
With loads of scars.
Ocean here without any waves
Mountains here having no caves
A River taking me nowhere
Flivver I found everywhere.
Maybe I'm staying here 
Or maybe I'll get through
I rather use a comma
Than to use full stop.
Maybe this will hurt me 
But I'm always going 
to be me.

Your lines oozes to a reader's emotion.

You took me on a journey when I felt such. The words you wrote are relatable and I could feel your emotions such was the honesty in your emotions. The darkness you feel is clearly expressed.

the poem paints a blur image of PAIN and MELANCHOLY and the key point is there is soothing rhythm in this beautiful piece. there is only need of building vocabulary and reading poems.
Thank you for sharing painted-with-words image of PAIN. :)
