In the Darkness

The internal peace through internal sleep

I look upon the darkness

I am less

Less than the consumer

Happiness but a rumor 

I look into the night

My chest is tight

I breathe in then out

I am lost without a doubt

I begin to slip

My heart began to rip

I feel gone 

I gave a meek yawn

Into internal sleep 

Six feet deep

I am forever down

I left with a frown

Never to awake

[Not Your Typical New Yo..]

Very clever and dark. This takes me back reading Edgar Allan Poe's poems. They're beautifully crafted, but they have a lot of dark themes. Nevertheless, nice job.

You have no reason to be shy about your writing. Beautifully crafted. You paint a picture of confusion and conflict in masse very clearly and lyrically. The loss or death of the spirit. Simple is sometimes just fine for conveying a deep meaning. Very well done. I enjoyed it.
