Afraid.

shine dark
down in abyss
    stark
raving mad
you were in shambles

afraid of light
afraid of sight
afraid of death
that became you
anyways.

lay silent
    frozen
  still motionless
  holding the dreams
    of a boy
  that died
years ago.

 
Cold heart races
to the edge of
  oblivion

forgetting secrets
left etched upon
  your dieing
  smile.

    The placing of the words just made me; whoa, wait, what? Thats not good, not at all. I just got so confused that I couldnt read the poem at all.

    Also the little I did read didnt have the darkness and pain I am looking for.

    ah, the emotion in this poem was beautiful.
    i love the simplicity of it, how you got such a great point across in such few words.
    =D

    "afraid of light
    afraid of sight
    afraid of death
    that became you
    anyways."

    those lines spoke to me the most because they seemed the most relatable to a lot of people.
    i loved the whole poem.. awesome job.

    good luck in my contest!

    I guess I was lucky to have my dad. He too has his problems. I never thought about having a dad with deeper problems...

    The one thing I like about this write is the deep sense you've put into it. And of course the saddest part that brought a tear to the eye was:

    "lay silent
    frozen
    still motionless
    holding the dreams
    of a boy
    that died
    years ago"

    There are a lot of people out there in our lives that holds the key to many parts of our lives. I wonder if they really realize this? Something for me to ponder.

    Thanks for entering my "Father's Day" contest. ~ I do appreciate your entry.

    Best of luck to you
