Array ( [sid] => 44073 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => dark shadows [time] => 2004-04-20 16:20:38 [hometext] => tried this..not too sure on it yet, but i hope you like it. phil xxx [bodytext] => i sit in shadows,
darkness caresses me,
cradling my heart,
making me feel at home..
the place where i belong,
is right here inside myself,
where hollow echo's of the past comfort me,
and tell me its ok..

your voice pierces my empty daydreams,
bringing me back to hopeless sorrow,
back to reality,
please let me go...
undiscovered emotion rises
through the cracks in my heart,
and i wonder if you are here to save me..

recesses of my inner darkness beckon to me,
telling me to come back home...
i walk away from you,
back to my true self..

i am welcome here...
the darkness is part of me...

goodbye...

What an incredible description of what this feels like. Hang in there. The darkness rolls back to reveal a beautiful, spring day. Trust me, I know. Your true self will shine again.

You've done well in showing the "self struggle" that I find I've gone through myself at times. There is a push and pull affect in these words. One time the reality of what has happened and the next a slight hope.... Wondering if you are here to save me. Nicely done. June

In my opinion this is incredible, you have summed up something i have been trying to do for quite a while. This poem is up there with the best i have read, and you should be proud to have been able to write something on this level the way you have, very very well done.
