Control Evil

Series

a dark shadow now

I feel coming over my

mind within my life

no color is here

inside this my lonely place

attempting control

alone with my thoughts

kind of a fantasy land

evil lurking near

ready to control

creating some evil thoughts

which will bring darkness

time to step up now

vacuous the darkness away

taking back control

Wow, this is so good, i can completely relate to the second stanza , well done

[Willard Wells]

I know I am not alone and I have better control of my dark and evil than most. I am hoping others will realize they are not alone since the feelings of loneliness play into the level of anxiety.

Thank you so much for taking time to read and comment on my work.

Is this a poem about meditation? Creating an empty mind defeats dark thoughts.

[Willard Wells]

I use many forms of meditation. Bicycling, writing, walking etc. This is a description is of needless depression starting to overtake and the fight to stay in control. There is more analyste going on at this time than meditation, but at times analyste is part of meditation.

Thank you for visiting my words and commenting.

I can relate very much to that. Poetry is definitely a good therapy. I have written a lot of poems over the last couple of months to try and conquer bleak thoughts. The putting down of words seems to lessen the power of the thoughts.

yes, it is a choice and a constant battle to be happy when the external world is conditioning us to be the just the opposite...nice write.

I could definitely relate to that first stanza completely. Sometimes we can just feel it swarming over us, darkening our thoughts without us having any control. If we feel it coming on our hope is there to get out... it's when we don't recognize it that it's truly dangerous. Awesome write :)

Thank you sir for your kind words and I know you share some of the darkness as I do and I thought you would feel something in this work. Take care my friend.

love the use of "vacuous" as a verb...yes, darkness and misery can just overcome us...but we must take back control of our happy.

[Willard Wells]

thank you Jacob for your kind words. You taking time to read and comment is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like my mind when I am thinking out a plot for a new story. Sometimes I get so far away in thought I forget I am not in that tale. Valentine

This was the beginning of depression which I did not embrace as deeply as could be. This is how I attempt to deal with it and seems to work. Thanks for taking time to read and comment on my work.
