Dark



Need to journey up to the sun,

found that myself has come undone,

all of the blackness has consumed,

there is nothing left for me to do,

I will walk this long road of mine,

the darkness has taken over my mind,

the light no longer shines inside,

made it burn so long it has died,

hid all the bruises deep within,

wanted to make you pay for your sins

but you gave me more than I could take,

when you ripped my soul away.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

Re: Dark

Though our reasons are different, our thoughts appear to be the same sometimes. Darkness can be overwhelming at times. But reading this made a thought come to my mind (which is pretty amazing considering the state of my mind today!). I thought that it is interesting how we often don't notice the darkness until it has consumed all the light. And it takes a LOT of darkness to banish ALL the light. But all it takes is a very small bit of light to dispell the darkness. This is what I snatch on to when the darkness threatens to engulf me. If I can just find ONE little bit of light, I can still see.

Mark, I can always tell a good poem when I read one. It makes me feel and it makes me think. Good poem.

Your not my god,
your not my friend,
your not the ones that i will walk with in the end,
Your not the truth,
your a temporary shot,
and you Ruin peoples' lives and you don't give a second thought

Re: Dark

When I was looking down the list of your poem titles this one caught my eye and knew it would be the first one to read.

Found it compelling...and found myself thinking of several times in my life consumed by the 'dark'.

Liked it alot Toast.......alot.
