Fading

In my creative writing class, we had to pick a random book from the room and pick out words that caught your attention from the book and from the words you chose you had to create a poem. This is what my poem came out to be, though it is rather dark, I ho

Fading

 

Shapeless blob filled with sorrow

Aging quickly, dying slowly

Dark shadow, feeling of gloom

Casting low gray colors, tired and lonely

 

Painfully desperate to be needed, wanted

Maddening, crying, want to be free

Flailing, failing, feel nothing

No knowledge to understand, comprehend

 

Slowly hear cries outside

Fading away into an abyss

Panicking, don't know what to do

Then silence overcomes the womb
