In the Darkness

In this darkness I fall…will you catch me? Fear over takes me…surrounded by despair… I am torn limb from limb… your face haunts me… In the absence of noise there is only my heart beating… so fast... I am truly afraid- so full of fear… My body involuntary trembles… I seek light…but there is none… Panic overcomes me and I am a statue of stone… I am truly afraid- so full of fear… Wrapped in the embrace of evil consumes me… Is there a chance of slight escape? When I am pulled deep within the hollows of terror… I weep and wallow, I shiver still… I am truly afraid- so full of fear… For the contest "Death Shadow" Meg Anderson 11-16-14

I chose this poem randomly and found solace in it. Angst and depression can invoke a solitary picture of a ragged solitary soul. thank you for sharing.

Martin, I am glad you found that in this write. This is one of my favorites. I wrote this coming from the perspective of being without any light and how terrifying it would be. Thank you.

I read this one aloud, and from the first word I felt vibrations all through my body, like the words were beating in the rhythm of my heart. This is one of the best poems I have personally read. thank you for sharing it.
