Black Mystic Clouds

Black mystic clouds 
forever engulfing my life. 
no one knows what I feel deep down inside. 

unlike a cyclone, I'm taciturn and calm on the outside.
 yet within I'm a thundering storm, blistering cold.
 conflicted and confused..deluded and betrayed 
my future ain't bright, somebody please hand me a torch. 

I don't even know who am I. 
For real , who am I? 
been faking smiles,changing masks.
Cropping,resizing my mind.
 tryna fit in their box ...
can't find my original shape. 
 
Soul searching, I only hear  demons talkin...
Satan approaching, 
my goals abandoned. 
Dreams shattered. 
I am a puppet, strings attached. 
I live not my life, but of others. 
I am shadow .
A living ghost, no one hears my lament. 
Even god turns a deaf ear, when I pray. 
I'm dead by design. 

Black mystic clouds engulfing my life. 
lost inside my own mind. 
snake in the eagle shadow,my death is inevitable.

Phil Capitano Date: 9/13/2017 6:05:00 PM Dark thoughts inhabit all minds from time to time, sensitive people even more but sadness, even deep sadness will not last. This I know from personal experience. Let my words and those from other Soupers be the hug you need; you are worthy. Namaste. Login to Reply

Akkina Downing Date: 8/14/2017 10:12:00 AM Wow! Deep and sad. I do hope you won't give up on your dream. Who said you can't be happy. Of course you can! Don't let anyone put you down so. You have a power within you to stand up for yourself and do what pleases you. If you otherwise let your mind believe their poison words, then you'll never get away from that dungeon of sad life. Smile and tell your mind and heart you're no ones fool... Great write Cebo... hugs :) Login to Reply Cebo Soul Date: 8/15/2017 10:01:00 AM Thanks Akkina ,much appreciated...after reading your comment I feel better than when I wrote that poem. :)

Robert Lindley Date: 8/14/2017 10:07:00 AM VERY SAD, DEEP AND SORROWFUL VERSES . I hope it is poetic imagination on display and not real life experiences. Very well written poem and with my once being in a similar state long ago, I am going to add this poem to my fav list. I rate this as a ten..
