Array ( [sid] => 21641 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => The Darkness [time] => 2003-08-09 00:05:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I stood there for awhile,
Wondering and fearing
Listening to these voices screaming at me,
Coming from where no one knew existed,
Living a life that no one knew about,
It's like no one knows I exist,
Out in that dark everyone knew was there,
But was too afraid to come in with me,
They were in the light,
Not caring,
Not sparing,
Not wondering,
Only fearing,
Fearing what I feared,
Where I lived,
Fearing what they only saw,
Fearing what they entered and never admitted was there,
Fearing where I lived,
Fearing the dark,
Being horrified of the place of which i spent my LIFE,
Never escaping,
Trying over and over,
Only to be pulled back into the darkness of which I slept,
Of which I ate,
Of which I lived,
Of which I was trapped,
Where I should never escape from,
This world is dark,
But everyone has there own light,
There own light of which surrounds them,
Guides them,
But mine is extinguished,
Turned off,
Like my life has come to an end,
So I am lost in the dark,
Using the lights of others until it burns me,
And I sit there alone in there darkness,
The smell of burnt flesh in the air,
The darkness is mine,
Mine and no one elses,
I own it,
I am it's ruler,
And I shall surpass. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Asatru [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

The Darkness

I stood there for awhile,
Wondering and fearing
Listening to these voices screaming at me,
Coming from where no one knew existed,
Living a life that no one knew about,
It's like no one knows I exist,
Out in that dark everyone knew was there,
But was too afraid to come in with me,
They were in the light,
Not caring,
Not sparing,
Not wondering,
Only fearing,
Fearing what I feared,
Where I lived,
Fearing what they only saw,
Fearing what they entered and never admitted was there,
Fearing where I lived,
Fearing the dark,
Being horrified of the place of which i spent my LIFE,
Never escaping,
Trying over and over,
Only to be pulled back into the darkness of which I slept,
Of which I ate,
Of which I lived,
Of which I was trapped,
Where I should never escape from,
This world is dark,
But everyone has there own light,
There own light of which surrounds them,
Guides them,
But mine is extinguished,
Turned off,
Like my life has come to an end,
So I am lost in the dark,
Using the lights of others until it burns me,
And I sit there alone in there darkness,
The smell of burnt flesh in the air,
The darkness is mine,
Mine and no one elses,
I own it,
I am it's ruler,
And I shall surpass.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
