Trapped in the Dark

Depressing poem.

Trapped in the Dark

Bags filled with weight; fastened to me

My feet stumbling under the weight

My body a protesting piece of jelly

Hopeless attempts trampled on by others

Unable to sustain my last bit of strength,

I trip; sailing down to the ground

Hitting it hard; tie dying the sidewalk with blood

I fall into a mysterious land

Greeted oh with such friendliness……

Hands close around my throat,

Throwing me into a panicked desperation

Wanting to leave this place

My hands reach around in the dark; only gripping air

My eyes adjusted to the dark only seek barren lands

My feet glued to the ground, unable to move forward

My body not cooperating; a demonic being of it’s own

Nothing. Nobody. I’m alone

Hell

no don't apologize, i actually love the way that you write dark poetry! this is genius! my favorite line of this poem had to be
"tie dying the sidewalk with blood"
you tooks something that is usually thought of something good and turned into something that just brings absolute horror to the reader.
nice work!!

I like the feel and loneliness of the poem. Many strong statements made your poem strong and have purpose. Easy to fall down and ain't so easy to get up. I like the ending. A excellent poem.

This poem is like a dream within a dream with in a dream. A nightmare that you can't wake up from quickly enough. Most people feel the weight and the pressure of life and it makes us feel like we are suffocating and weighing us down.
