My Only Option

Darkness fell all around me as I gave in againt the current.

You would think that I would want to fight back

because it hurts, but it doesn't.

It feels better than fighting.

 

Here I am, peaceful with no worries and no more pain.

I can feel it going away with each minute.

You cannot tell me that it is wack

because you dont know how easy it is to let go

and never come back.

I feel like I am free of everything.

Nothing to worry about anymore.

Because I am safe here and I dont want to give it up.

Not for anything.

 

I couldn't imagine going back, but I have to.

I have to resurface and fight my way through it all.

No matter how easy it is to give up I cant.

So goodbye darkness and freedom.

One day when I am ready, freedom will find me

and I can take all the pain away.

But, for now, fighting

Is my only option,

This is delicate and yet complex. The poem was very expressive and magnificent. A great read.

This is a very raw and powerful poem. It really projects the emotions efficiently. However on the last stanza:
......, but I have to (to)? Perhaps it was supposedly 'go'?
I have to resurface and fight my way through it al(l). Missed out an 'l' there.
Proofreading is quite important in Lit. cases. However, an excellent, dark-tragic write! Great job! Keep it up! ;)

Wow
I LOVE the darkness of this write.
I could feel myself being pulled by your very discriptive words.
Great Job!

this is a very powerful poem, its sad and haunting at the same time. Great Job :)

This is a chilling poem.The last line resonates like a heavy door being slammed shut. A sadly accurate description of the results of extended misfortune. You are skilled at creating images and imparting emotion. Wise beyond your years.
