The Darkness

by Ciara   Feb 8, 2016


In the darkness is where the bad memories go
In the darkness lives the worst evil you know.

You do everything you can to bury the fear and the pain
But the darkness will bring it to the surface again

Around your throat grasps its cold, dark hand
Dragging you down where no one understands

You know how you got there but you dont know how to get out
Seeing and feeling things that you cant talk about

Nothing is as scary as being alone in your mind
Memories and nightmares that you cant leave behind

You will always be fighting the monster within
Being alone, theres no way you can win

Wishing that someone, anyone, could help you find the light
They cant hear your screaming, they know nothing of endless night

May as well except the darkness, evil always wins
And dragging you down to your personal hell is where it always begins

    I think you mean "Accept," instead of "Except".

    You are a poetic spirit. I empathize with this poem, every word is to me as wondrous as the thought by which it was inspired.

    A word, to console;

    Reality is no more (and no less!) than the reflection of your psyche on the mirror of perception. I suggest that you read my poem, 'Fading Mirror.'

    Hello Ciara,

    you are on a roll...

    I like this format. Probably more so than your last. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder eh?

    The rhyming couplets are effective in that they are spaced and allow this reader to digest their content.

    A dark theme again and one that many on here will relate to. Darkness: a feeling of loneliness and despair. A feeling that no one understands or even cares. With all this frustrated anger going no where one often internalises it.

    This is my favourite couplet, a real dark one too: Around your throat grasps its cold, dark hand
    Dragging you down where no one understands.

    Excellent! :O)

    Getting these feeling out on the page and sharing is an excellent way to heal.

    Keep on writing.

    Take care,

    Michael

      Thank you so much. I get a little nervous when i share anything i write. Its an outlet that keeps me out of my own head.
