Burden of your Soul

Leaving behind the fossils of a childhood that never was.

Tearing away at the soul of the unprotected.... unloved child.

The husk of their unforfilled and empty minds.

Too encumbered to see what is right in front of them.

They are only empty bottles never to be filled.

Walking away into the mists of your future self.

Leaving the cobwebs of the past to find rebirth.

Just venturing forth into the bewitching hours that unfold before you.

Carrying your bandaged heart in your bloodied hand.

With the knowledge that you and only you are its keeper.

Gaining stregnth in each step into the abyss of this life.

Lives of endless mazes & obstacles to over come.

Never knowing what will become of what we are today.

Reaching out to know who it is that we will be tomorrow.

As we journey yearning for the knowledge of the unknown.

Our past shadows trail behind us as the Sun sets before us.

Sometimes when the Sun is too bright for the mind to bare.

You have to create your own world of Light in the Dark.

Then let the Raven carry the Burden of your Soul for awhile.

i agreee that this can relate to a lot of us, and i especially found a lot that spoke to me.

"Our past shadows trail behind us as the Sun sets before us."

that line reminds me of that feeling, that ive felt oh so many times, that youre so far behind and you know its hopeless to run because the dark is inevitable, but you run anyways, until your legs give way and buckle... its not so much that you cant handle the light, just the bitterness and fear of falling out of its good graces makes us wild.

I like, a bit sad, but still, kudos

[Angelic Darkness]

I believe this poem can relate to all of us.
