Forgotten Decisions

From my mind through the pen and onto the page

Darkness an escape from reality bestowed upon me.

Igniting my eternal flame of inevitable cruelty.

As I walk through this narrow tunnel blinded by nothing,

I become one with my thoughts.

Unable to deny my present pain I walk...

I walk till I suppress all mind and soul 

inside a tormented vision we beg for more.

I like the dark choice of words and I can relate to your lines, especially the last part.

Really good read. Be sure to capitalize the 'L" in lighting. Other than that, it was a great and very artistic poem.

Most are taught to fear the dark, but there is a wealth of learning there. Once we have seen the 'underbelly' the tender, vulnerable flesh of life, we learn valuable lessons that enhance our existence. The languid flow of your words is slick like oil, beautifully descriptive piece of meditative writing.

Well, poems. I don't know the first thing about poems, to be quite honest :). It's like a sports reporter trying to review a ballet performance, or something. But, what I do hear when I read it aloud is that it sounds pretty cool and I guess that's important when it comes to poems. So, again, you can use great words. It's pretty dark, though, and I'm more on the sunny side of things (try to be, at least) but that's really subjective and by no means a valid criticism.
