darkness

Darkness consumes me illuminates my soul, 

I feel swallowed by this shallow condense mind, 

surrounded by a material world I'm lost. 

Where are our roots in which we connected with the soil, 

where are our emotions in which we expressed through words and affection? 

My emotions have turned sour, like the world we now live in 

I have been consumed, abused and beaten by this unequal life. 

How do I go back 

The happiness and joy that once filled my life is now, 

GONE 

like the soul that i once called my own

I like the imagery you're using here, I can tell it comes from quite an unpleasant event.
You're very good at helping the reader to have a bit of an insight into how you felt upon writing this.
It's a very good poem, keep up the good work :D

A powerful poem and sad journey in the words. When darkness consumed us. What is left? Thank you Amy for sharing the excellent poetry.
