Shade

by Kuro   Aug 18, 2009


The darkness comforts me
It soothes my bloodshot eyes
The light only blinds me
With all of its lies

Shadows of silence call my name
They leave quietly, just as they came
Cool shade and fear of light
Question what is wrong and right

I cannot hide what is in my soul
A black empty pit, what is the toll
To lead such unworthy demise
I can't break free, my hands are tied

Silent grin on all their faces
Voices guide a murky cadence
To fear the light and hide in the shade
Are consequences I have weighed

    You are a FANTASTIC writer. I have a feeling I'm going to be reading much of your work!

    I really admire your style.

    The very last stanza was my favorite. Your word choice is very strong and interesting.

    Keep up the great work.
    5/5, well deserved.

    Wow this is really good. Its very intense and descriptive. Although, like the above comment, i think some lines might be a bit off...but apart from that you've done an excellent job. Keep it up.

    The darkness comforts me
    sooths my eyes
    the light only blinds me
    with all of it's lies

    *I like this. Some things I would change is the second line. I would make it "soothes my heavy eyes" That way we see what't being soothed. and the last line the its doesn't need an apostrophe.*

    shadows of silence call my name
    they go quietly, just as they came
    cool shade and fear of light
    question what's wrong and right

    *I liked this stanza alot. It gave me a creepy feeling like I'm being watched.*

    i cannot hide what is in my soul
    a black empty pit, what is the toll
    to lead such unworthy demise
    i can't break free, my hands are tied

    *Flawless :) the words you used here really paint a sad picture for me. I loved this stanza.*

    silent grin on all their faces
    lead my mind to many places
    to fear the light and hide in the shade
    are consequences i have weighed

    *The second line was my favorite!!!! I love the way you describe your insanity. This was really good Ben :) Keep it up :) Nik*
