My Darkness

When we live in a world full of torment Must life always be getting us down A vague sense of loss, everlasting While crying the tears of a clown Such feelings of loneliness pending Even when you're with someone you love A bottomless pit, never ending A hawk, in the guise of a dove Sweet Jesus I know that it's me Has shackled my soul to the dirt Please help me in time for to see The people around me I've hurt If there's but a way, let me know If there's but a quest, let me see A light at the end of the tunnel To help all of those who helped me...

A most touching poem here Peter.... I know that vague sense of loss all too well... there seems to be a speck of hope in the end, and that is always nice! Well written! Always, Laura
