Alone

Alone

A Poem by Lisa Victoria

"Alone"

Here I lay alone
trapped by my fears
fears of loving...living...laughing
Will I ever be free again?
Free from the thoughts that plague
the innermost depths of my soul...
Will I ever find the courage
to take the first step
out of the prison
I've created for myself?

What thoughts plague my mind?
Thoughts of darkness
like a black hole in space
empty...bottomless...
Light cannot find it's way in
it longs to...
yet, it cannot pierce the darkness
which is my soul
Hopelessness has replaced dreams
so now I must suffer
for I have made many suffer
for my own selfishness

wow... this poem again was breathtaking and emotional... there's something amazingly real about it; as i am reading it, I feel myself thrust into the poem, experiencing, feeling the fear, the pain, the loneliness... I love your use of elipses and questions - they have really helped to enhance the poem. a wonderful read. i really really liked it :)

I understand the poem. Even the greedy person fall one day. Learn tear and sadness. A wise person become kinder and more gentle with friends and lovers. I like the honest tone to the excellent poetry. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words:)
This piece is wonderfully writen. For me it elludes to those important choices in life where we either pain the lifesaver black and call it a sin, or we polish it and call it salvation. It's always a hard decision to make, for many thing weigh down upon us. Many of us indeed can say our path of selfish actions have led us to get the rattle can out and douse the lifesaver with darkness... But at the same time, acknowledging our own selfishness, can inturn lead us to become selfless in the future steps we take.

Great Ink that makes one think!

My passion from an early age was always reading.... getting lost and transformed into another time or place by words so cleverly placed.... this passion transformed to writing with passion and persona.. more..
