Darkness at Litha

Darkness at Litha  

I fiercely compete 

With myself 

For control

Day at odds

With night

Sanity long since 

Abandoned by 

The side of the road

I fear for 

My poor heart

Can I heal 

The anger 

That taunts me

Can I cleanse 

The negativity 

From my soul

I surpassed

Self destruction

The swords 

Poised at my heart

Ready for 

My next move

Destruction lies 

With the anger

Only Love conquers all

Gollum sleeps in my psyche

Ready to revive 

With the slightest 

Encouragement

Night threatens the sun

Can a soul survive 

Such turmoil

Ruin awaits me 

If I lose control

Need overwhelms 

My waking existence

I seek the source 

Of my pain

Only peace 

Can calm my fear

The mirror 

Shows me the path

The Tower 

Crumbles around me

I sit alone 

Shivering with cold

The colors of dawn 

Approach

I rise naked 

To greet the sun

Beautifully written
Short and to the point in every line
I feel your pain, one of the best poems I've viewed so far today. Don't ever doubt your writing its the only thing that stays true to you.
