The Pit

ties in directly to my story Faith/Endless Struggle, this poem was written to describe the pit in that story... or more properly the Story was written to include the pit.

Where am I...

I see nothing but darkness,

all around me. I have this odd

feeling... as though I am falling

at a great speed toward some

unknown place.

The further I fall, the deeper

and darker the shadows get.

I can no longer see the light.

The light that once guided me,

has all but faded into the

eternal shadows. The very

same shadows that now

engulf my whole being.

My heart is crumbling

into dust, the few

remaining shards are beginning

to slip away from my grasp.

Everything has fallen into this pit

with me, and I have no control

over any of it. I can not regather

these broken pieces of my life

that are falling past me to await 

me at the bottom, await to impale

me on their jagged edges.

Despair and Sorrow have sunken

their claws into my soul, have

begun to rip it out of me. I 

think... that I should just 

let go, and give in. Give in

and let myself be drug deeper

into this pit, it seems so safe,

and dark... like the perfect 

place for me to be.

The Darkness conceals,

even the deepest of pains.

Others need not worry.

I shall be safe among the

shadows of despair, sorrow,

depression

Author's Note

This poem only attempts to describe the pit that I fell into. It was a pit of despair, sorrow, depression, pain... A Pit straight from the depths of hell. One that I was stuck in for 6 months, and that thankfully I have now climbed out of, with the help of God, and a very very good friend that came as an answer to a prayer

While very deep, this writing is also very enlightening...
