My Life

My entire life

has been hidden behind a shroud

of dark numbness

echoing so loud

that my thoughts are drowned out

Sometimes

I'll feel sunshine pierce through

the veil of empitness

and turn the gray sky blue

but the clouds always come back

I've taken peeks

beyond the gloomy haze

only to find waterfalls of tears

and a sorrowful gaze

begging for light

My existence

for these past sixteen years

has been full of numbness

and secret, hidden fears

of losing my last few rays of hope

I - am - in - awe! This poem rocks! It's simply divine in every way, down to the stragglers of profound perfection. AAAHHH!! My only critique, if I may be so bold, is the last line should end with "hope" and that "left" turn into "last" and be slipped into the middle of the line (before "few"). Other than that.....wow! simply wow! Well done!
