George Mwangi Poet Free verse

PULL ME OUT

Lost
Underneath this despair
Lies darkness that loots
Loots the humanity inside of me
It is darkness I see,not humanity
It is darkness that sees me,not humanity
Dead


Dead
Is the light of hope
Hope for the light that outshines the darkness 
Darkness that loots,the sanity inside me
Gloom
 
Gloom
Fills the heart that loves,that loved
In the time of emptiness 
Gloom is what fills me,gloom is what sees me
Gloom is what I see
Despair 
 
Despair
I had all of you,most of you some and now none of you
You that gave me humanity,has left with it
My head that held sanity is done with it
I need pulling,from despair 

Help
Pull me by my hand
Pull me as the darkness does
But not to save me,to tear me apart 
Tear me apart,so the little light inside me escapes
To your eyes and see,it was there it was,I still held it I did
I just needed someone to see
But it's only darkness that saw
