Darkness and Despair

Darkness And Despair By: Neva Romaine I surrounded myself with all manner of things That brings in a semblance of cheer The lights are bright, the noises are loud No time to think or fear But then time passed by-all distractions have gone Nothing further to fill empty space Dreaded darkness again...and I am alone Am I doomed to this forlorn place? Making every day, my last. Cutting new demons into the claim of life Missing, the light in each moment I breathe Thinking of the things I miss - before I sleep Finally, I find myself hitting rock bottom Fading into hopelessness, frighten by joy Alone, with vibes that hold not spark Trying to reach for the light, from despair --A Poet Destroyer Collaboration-- 7/31/2015 Submitted for: One From The Dark Side Poetry Contest Sponsored By: John Lawless September 26, 2022
