darkness confines me becomes me i am but a shadow lost in my own darkened world searching for what i do not know a family i never had? a love i never knew? peace from the chaos of this world? abandoned by those who claimed to love me never truly knew what love was never really shown what love was emotions are lost to me hardened beyond truth hardened beyond love emptiness is my salvation yet emptiness is my destruction i dont feel until pain brings me back to reality the sharp cold bite of sharpened steel the release of blood brings me back even if only shortly it makes me feel it makes me live live live

Not to lighten your experiences, but sometimes adversity can lead to greatness. A tough childhood actually drives many to outrageous achievement and success. The difference can be one's resourcefulness and determination...like your poem :)

often i reflect upon the adversities of my life, they have shaped me into who i am today, yes i may be a darkened man, but i know i have a gift, a gift for writing, a gift for singing, thats all i can ask for and i would never change my past, it made me who i am today
