Another shade of black

Another shade of black

 

Blackness, darkness and sleeplessness

Let there be no light all night and silence

 

As I crawl back to the playground of my demons

To my darkest of souls I cast them all omens

And black my heart shall be

For black was always me

 

How could I live in light and welcome fate

When the heart I long for no longer illuminates

And the heart of mine in tar it sinks

Black now it is, black as ink

 

Make it black, paint it black

As the hearts of men, and goodness they lack

The darkness within don’t hold it back

Better not to see as you walk your own track

 

Mourn in black, wear it black

Even if broken they won’t see a crack

Walk with no pack, straighten your back

Always prepared for another attack

 

They killed its last of light

No longer I wish to fight

No longer I will, no longer I can

Too many options to kill a man

 

Working class hero, that’s first how I died

A common job can kill one’s pride

Corrupted media to mess one’s head

Useless information all we’re fed

 

A friend, a fellow and an endless need

To stab your passion and watch you bleed

To keep you sane, to keep you sound

Afraid of lonesome you keep them around

 

Society of majority

Accuse you of blasphemy

All to destroy your wildest dream

Dare you stand up? Dare you scream?

 

A stroke as you chock

To dwell the years you learn to smoke

As they charge you for their blind of filth

More you smoke and welcome death

 

A goddess to seek and fell the heart

God-made finest piece of art

Drainer of the soul called soul mate

The one who’s for you’d change your fate

 

Black it is, as black as her eyes

As black as their greed, as black as their lies

Black is immortal as colors do fade

With time you’ll leave… of black another shade

And in the end if feel like i am in a still body of water in a pitch black space. Swimming to to the screams that are the least painful to hear, running form an enemy that is inescapable, to a savior that does not exist. My body aches for the speaker, for the pain he endures is one i cannot know. A pain that cannot be shared, and makes his aching all the lonelier. I am so, so sorry.

Wow strong write, I really enjoyed this and loved this write.
Deep and astounding!

This was very bleak. I could see everything unlit and dark around me. But your word choice and rhymes were attractive and and the wondering and recoiling is something we can relate to, so I guess these features are enough to keep us from stumbling in the black of your poem. Keep writing.

It is not easy find rhymes so perfectly blended like in your poem.
And I like the way you wrote the poem, being so faithful to the theme.

I liked it. Rhyming was good. Very... long, though.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I'm not so sure about the rhyming part of this piece, but I guess it was a good effort and didnt take away so much from it. Nicely done. Great write!
