A Dark Deception

This is a poem I wrote on a dark, grey night.

I'm locked inside, 

My own dark mind, 

Broken and in distress, 

In desperate need of saving. 

I've fought hard for way too long, 

I don't think I can take much more, 

Life for me is just sorrow and regret, 

Even the little things burn to ashes. 

Every night I fall asleep alone, 

No one by my side to numb the pain, 

I must be one fucked up creature, 

As no one should ever feel this way.

All I know is that one day, 

I will find my peacefulness, 

Whether here on earth, 

Or in the land of what's next.

I'm inclined to say ... the body pines ... while the mind feasts ... but ... a mind locked ... prevents it dining. Nice ...

This one is oozing strong emotions. But like wave life also finds its way you just gotta learn to hang on and keep your head above the water.

A very dark and depressing poem, that seems to lead to only one conclusion -- it is good to get these feelings on paper, and to express them for others who feel the same.
