The Shadow

The long forgotten memory,
a fire without light.
I walk this Earth in misery,
no longer can I fight.
Born of darkness and despair,
I live my life of woe.
Behind this mask there lies a heart
that I may never show.
A shadow of society,
a creature spawned from doom.
A spirit yearning to live free
that darkness can not consume.
This world can not bring me down,
I stand strong still today
because a shadow never dies,
it simply fades away...

I wrote this about a year ago. I thought it was interesting, and I hope that you all feel the same.

    Darkness...

    This was written very well, and had an interesting concept at the end. It had good description and flow to it. I almost lost myself in the darkness of it, good job!

    Very well written with a nice flow and a tone that matches the words. Your words are lush and vivid though the poem itself is dark and absorbing. Nicely done.! Poem on! Kjo
