Darker and Deeper

Deep and dark without a spark of light,

If I can’t see, I cannot fight.

Drowning in this pit of sorrow,

I go to sleep wondering if I’ll see tomorrow.

Things are rough and I stay tough,

Even though I’ve seen some messed up stuff.

The pain inside of my heart feels like it’s going to rip me apart.

I put on a smile for those around me so they can’t see.

They can’t see the sorrow that has swallowed the heart inside me.

Deep and dark without a spark of light,

It’s darker than the sky at night.

This darkness that surrounds me doesn’t want to set me free. Running, running, I’m trying to escape.

But then I realize I can’t run if there’s no ground beneath me. Help, help, I’m reaching out can’t you hear me shout.

My hand extends into the darkness hoping praying someone will take it. I can’t do anything I’m trapped.

I realize I’ll always be alone.

i can feel this sadness throughout every bone.

deep and dark without a spark of light.

Nothing’s in sight it gives such a fright.

I could feel the cold sweat on my face.

My heart beats at great pace.

Suddenly I can feel a hand,

but this hand isn’t pulling out it's pulling me down. I try to shout but I can't make a sound. Looks like this is the end.

Now it’s deeper here and it’s darker too.

The format is different, but i like it...I love raw, unfettered emotion pouring out in words that come from the heart...or even from someplace deeper. And darker. In my mind, the beauty of writing is achieved when words on paper fills another's mind, and has the power to touch their soul. Well done.
