I am a child of darkness

by Dagmar Wilson   Dec 12, 2017


I am a child of darkness
pain resides within,
I observe my surroundings
and detect a broken heart.

Pain is a growth located on my chest
it's blocking the airway and there is nothing you can do.

Healing is a process
it's moving slow motion.
I am a child of darkness
afraid to face the light.

The night is my blanket
it covers up the truth,
the blinds are closed.

I feel the pain of others
I can see it in their eyes,
let us hold hands, make a circle
together we can heal.

    Quite often poetry is born of dark times and thoughts. It is an unfortunate but simple truth.

    Every dark thing is however something of an inspiration.

    What you have conveyed is fantastic.

    Everyone around us is experiencing such unpleasant things. Though they try to express that they are happy and living a trouble free life, I don't think anyone in this world is happy. All of us are going through Pain, depression, or broken heart etc and they all lead to darkness in the end.

    We all become habitual to it, Start living on it because darkness never disappoints us. Instead, it feeds us like it's own children.
    Feeding us the shattered dreams of ours, and making us believe that truth is a lie.
    It resides in our heart and we don't even realize until it's too late for us to recover. We give up on everything which could bring hope.

    I love this very beautiful message that you have shared with all of us through this poem of yours.
    Often, we go too deep in the arms of the darkness that healing or recovering from that looks very difficult. Healing is a slow process, but it's possible to heal from the scars left by darkness.
    All we need is the strength to fight the darkness and if we start listening to each other, help each other in good or bad we can heal each other's heart.
    There will be no more agony and once the sun of trust and truth shine in our hearts, we will no longer be called as the children of darkness.

    Only by holding each other hands, We can make this world a better place. Maybe that's why our mother earth looks like a sphere or a circle. It's natural environment works as a circle and if we keep on holding our hands, one day we will cover this beautiful planet with hope.
    Beautiful message, wonderfully written.

    Miss Dagmar, All the best!
