Eternity's Plight

I walk through
corridors of grey
As the light bleeds
from the sky
And the night
steals the day

I move alone
through shadows unseen
An ethereal creature
A heavenly being

I drift through the world
loved yet despised
Twisted and tormented
with no alibi

I hunger for something
I will never find
Because the truth is an alien
And the inhabitants are blind

I wander through worlds
of colour and light
Of mysteries unspoken
and eternity's plight

I am everything
and nothing
I am all that I am
I am free to be me
I belong to no man

[Carthage Thorne| The Wi..]

This poem is absolutely brilliant! It's freeing, and it is something to get one thinking on levels that go just beyond the surface. That final stanza is wonderful, my favorite two lines from that is...

I am all that I am
I am free to be me

Unfortunately too many people do not even have an understanding of that, of themselves in that manner which is a sad thing to think about but inspiring to know those who are able to say that they are "Free to be themselves."


Overall, nicely written and look forward to seeing more of your finished pieces and pieces yet to come.

I like the journey to understanding in your words.
"I am everything
and nothing
I am all that I am
I am free to be me
I belong to no man "
I agree with the words above. Locked door can be broke open. People must want to be where they are or it is a prison. Thank you dear Poet for the excellent poetry.

in the end, we are all alone...and whatever we are going to be, that is up to us...

we will be both loved and despised...but either way, no alibi...we are who we are and our actions will prove that.
