Peter Walsh Poet Rhyme

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...
