Darkness

Sometimes I like to write dark poetry!

In the darkness

Is where I reside

Hid away 

From the light

No one to see

I mean really see

The shadows 

That haunts me

Dare I scream out

For someone to help

Should I whimper

So someone can hear 

I've cried out so much

My lungs hurt

My voice is nearly gone

Yet still I sit in darkness

Where can you hide

When darkness is all around

You can't escape it

It's at every turn

And in the darkness

Is all kinds of hurt

There's torture 

There's pain

There's anguish

And sorrow

There's broken hearts

There's misery

There's loneliness 

And cold

I've set here so long

I think I've become accustomed 

I think I've made this home

But there's still a part of me

Inside fighting it 

I can feel it

And it keeps me going

Another day in chains

Another night in the dark

Another soul wandering

Another road another fork

I think you eloquently state the self defeating purpose of hiding away in the darkness. It only leads to deeper levels, where you find it even harder to face the world and spend too long thinking there is no one to hear your voice, so you don't. Then the spiral continues as the fear and loneliness consume.
We need those voices every now and again to remind us we matter.

we can be prisoner's of the dark, both literally and figuratively. a lot of soul searching takes place in the dark. alone with our thoughts we can be our own worst enemies. nice work. let there be light!
