Hold Me Back From All I'm To Become

Hold Me Back From All I'm To Become

A Poem by Color of the Iris

Though my tears are strong and clear

My heart feels as though its dark and clouded

Will the fairytale ever be the same again?

Can my mind really find my heart for me?

Or do I fear how it really feels inside?

 

What’s pain to a black and un-beating heart?

Nothing more than a reminder that time is against me

Along with my demons in attempt to knock me down

And drag me down to the never ending depth of my deceit

Won’t you reawaken my soul from this painful slumber?

Find it inside yourself to be the person I never could be

 

So afraid of change because of the shadows that tag along

The never ending pain that longs to come out and play again

Shelter me not from my madness, but from my illness

And tell me the darkness is nothing to fear anymore

Because I should know you’re the light on the other side

So, hold me back from all I'm to become again

Ah struggle! A fight! The heart is always the most powerful thing a person has. As you stated it can drag you to the darkness or bring you up towards the light. Change is inevitable but it's how you stand up and face it. Whatever your heart tells you.

The piece itself is lovely, capturing emotions and putting them down on paper isn't always the easiest thing to convey but nonetheless you seem to have done it!

I don't really have any critiques on this because I thoroughly enjoyed it! Keep up the writing!
