Embracing Hells fury

Just the feel of numbness....

I'm high with darkness,
tried a lot of times to escape this madness,
"but now no more,
I will let it slide,
I don't care if it's heaven or hell
I don't have any reasons to feel this time,"
some folks like to get away,
but they will only find shades of grey,
not a single hope of joy...
"so why all this?"
it was so easy living day by day
until that big cloud came
and took it all away....
now I feel nothing,
I am stuck with numbness
Hell found me when I was somebody
now I just want to look at the view
and not to find the truth,
in a world where a drop of hope never exists

Author's Note

A dark and abstract approach...with this song it makes it even....(I'll let you feel in the blanks)

Numbly is a terrible way to live...existence for surely cannot be called life? It's a passionless place to be, and not made any the easier through recognition.

Thank you, I appreciate it

Nice, I like how not only did you write of feeling numb but in that your mind went numb as well, just unable to care even if it is heaven or hell. Nicely done.

I was trying to think up some witty little euphemism to tap down here but frankly, today , all I can think of is I don't want to live in that kind of world either, what am I going to do about that? So many of our young Americans are lost in this grayness, all I can think is hw grateful I am for poetry and a way to get it out of me and into something more creative. Its good you have found this venue

The thing about darkness (and everything in this world) is that it does have an opposite, which is "light". No matter how dark things become, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how "numb" the body and mind become, remember the opposite does exisit...feeling. Just as darkness is the consumption of all color at once, numb is the epitomy of "feeling" everything at once.

I liked the write...thought provoking.

Thank you, for your wonderful review, I appreciate it, yes sometimes there is an opposite but it's to far away to see it anymore.

[InsanityWriter]

You've expressed this emotion perfectly... Beautiful piece.

Thank you, I appreciate it

Darkness can take it's toll and suck you into the blackness...once at the bottom, it can feel hopeless. I understand this all too well. You write this with a raw pain being the root of your "hell"...as a result becoming emotionally inept to feel anything. Well done, Nicky.

'Im high with darkness'
That's the most perfect line i came across in a few days. It just kind of sucked me in to read this piece. It is the perfect beginning to a poem which flowed beautifully and conveyed emotions one could feel. It's wonderful Nick. Loved it:-):-):-D.

[Nick.B]

Thank you, for your review, much appreciate it :D

[Jack...]

Nick, this was dark and mind reacting, it made me think of my own times and how I feel I may have wasted most. Very cool.

Thanks, I appreciate it
