Darkness is in my Soul
Evil has taken from me
all that is light and good
in my life.
I am possessed
as I step over my mother
and father
for you see they won't ever
awaken again.
They have been murdered
destroyed
blood and bodies are everywhere.
They left me
here
alone.
I am dead
tho my body is physically living.
Yet I am alone
in this darkness
where no light may shine through.
Author notes
I was thinking of the children of the holocaust when I wrote this. I believe this must be how they felt.

Wow.
At first I couldn't take my eyes off the picture you provided (I am curious where did you find it?) and then I read the words and the raw imagery and emotion just kicked me in the stomach and my heart went out to the orphans of the world
Amazing poem!

Thank You for Your Entry & Best of Luck

Very deep and sad! What a terrible feeling to know that your family has just died. Such a devastating and horrible reality that so many children face everyday. Well done and a great
thought for this write! All the best to you in
this contest my friend!
