Carol Mitra Poet Free verse

Murder In the Tunnel

Sad and very desolate
In the darkness of this tunnel
Feeling the bitterness, I am drained
This fear is driving me Insane.

For hurt cannot be lessened
Quiet and afraid I go on and on
In my desolation I am weak
Unable to see my own dark hand
Never seeing beyond the bend

Murdering this fear now in my brain
I stay strong and will remain
Often we do not understand the rain
Life is short and uncertain
Only time heals the pain

Andrea Dietrich January 28, 2021 at 9:22 AM It sounds like a murder of the spirit from which you are going to escape. Unique take on the challenge. Carol Mitra January 28, 2021 at 5:51 PM Thanks dear Andrea...Depression is a reality we see in people we love...tried to address this...and the fight to freedom is within ourselves a tough battle but one can overcome....Hugs.
