In the Shadows

Feeling the heartache
Entombed by the grief
Through today and tomorrow
There is no relief

Why, why why?
Must this go on
I think as I cry
Becoming even more withdrawn

Days becoming nights
Nights becoming terror
Who turned out the lights?
This darkness bearer

Watching their felicity
Deep in terrible regret
Trapped in the simplicity
Forever in this debt

    seems a sad evaluation of the times. hidden and dar secrets maybe. But always the fear, alone and in the dark can overcome any good. Well penned poet.

    I try my best to thrust myself in to groups of people when I know I'm getting depressed and the storms of life are starting to get to me, and even though I'm around people, I just feel myself withdrawing more and more from people

    I like it, Very well written

  • it was a great write, i loved how it flowed perfectly and its rhyme stayed on beat, its an amazing write becouse you just do everything right and stay completely on topic, and not many people can rhyme each line with the other like you have, its a very difficult thing. excellent and amazing job.

  • Whoa! loved this! really. amazing right well deserved HM

    wow... I was expecting you to be an emo ass and not know how to write a damn poem but... this is pretty good.

    • no way. I hate the little cutters. you don't like your life, do something about it. That's why I cut out emotion, to focus on what needs to be done. I'm glad you thought it was good. Thank you.

        Yeah, I have a friend that use to cut... but I really didnt blame him, his case was pretty shitty, plsu he didnt whine about it to other people and he didnt have an emo dress code like the other cry babies lol

        yeah it was really good, I liked it. Most my writes are shit, but most of the ones htat arent are becuase they arent poems, there my spits lol

    this poem paints a scary & very eerie picture. I did see the picture that you wrote this poem for.. I think that you did an outstanding job with the prompt.. there us lots of sadness, and fear through out this write.

    thank you for entering & good luck
