Darkest When It's Dawn

Darkest When It's Dawn

A Poem by Dante Balintyne

Through the darkness I see only pain

There is nothing in my sight left to gain

I try so hard to slip away into dreams

I worry not about any real themes

It's a pure attempt at escaping all this

I endlessly prey even just for a night to have bliss

Wishing I could be locked in my dream

I don't have the security of a team

I will my self to fight alone

Feels as though all around me have turned to stone

I fight to make it through the day

Unable to be strong or know what to say

When I finally fall asleep I feel I am where I belong

Because only I understand that it's darkest when it's dawn

Very Nice, Job well done there. Tis a bit dark and dreary for me, but it flows nicely and it goes with your theme. Two thumbs up.

Great flow..and feel.. I can feel the emotion of the struggle through your writing. Many may relate to this.. too many nights I toss and turn to find myself up and in front of this computer or just unable to sleep.. I have an easier time in the warmer weather because I can get out more and work off energy leaving myself drained enough to fall asleep earlier... the winter is different.. I am indoors and even when I work out it doesn't drain me the same for some reason. I have a few that I have written like this.. and dreams to. I dream like crazy sometimes 7 a night when I finally sleep in full-living colour...Mostly good ones thankfully.. I can't describe what I feel in the dark.. numb is the only word I can find cause it's really such a big mix and I always feel alone. Thank you for sharing.. great writing! =)

Well...saying I wear my emotions on my sleave is a bit of an understatement. I think of all the changes that I have gone through emotionally and I almost cant believe it. I started writing when I star.. more..
