A little bit of the darkness in me.

Thrice have I tried.
Thrice have I failed.
Thrice have I wanted
For this misery to end

Thrice have I told
Thrice I've been scold
Thrice felt the cold
Thrice I have hold

First when thirteen
Abused I have been
Wanted to be seen
But no one was keen

First tried a blade
But of blood I'm afraid
Slowly desire fade
Because of promises he made

Second came when
I no longer listen
Too much burden
I've ran

Second through a rope
But his words gave me hope
He told me he won't cope
If in this world I'll elope

Third was a cry
For help to come by
For someone to try
To not let me die

But third was a mess
Overdosed cause of stress
Started to feel less
So to someone I confessed

If this continues
Then there is no use
I wouldn't accuse
For dulling my hues

At first the lines through the lines threw me off but by the time I got to the end of this ,yes,dark poem I understood their symbolism. At least I think I did. For me they represented your insecurity as if you wanted to get these feelings out but we're afraid to expose some kind of weakness or what you thought people would or might perceive as a weakness. In truth,it's a great representation of the confliction that takes place inside the heart of a deeply wounded individual who found the courage and platform to get it out. I thought it was great and am hard pressed to present you with even the smallest of criticisms. Thank you for sharing this with us all .
