Solidarity

Darkness beckons me with each new day
Remembrance of my desolation seems to persistently stay
Cataclysmic past still haunts my troubled mind
Convalescence becoming unwavering, Consummation I find
Anguish constantly overwhelms my aspirations to improve 
Vanquish each memory, Condemnation is removed 
Unpleasant occurrences that steadily came to pass
Unmanageable situations, My resolution transcends, at last
Ingenuity shall be my guide
In myself, alone, I shall confide
Unworthy existence became my heart's outlook
Reclaiming my resilience that disaster overtook 
Self conviction speaks to my innermost being
Realization of reality redirects my life's meaning
Overcome these afflictions through solidarity 
In myself, alone, shall I uncover my clarity

A Song for the Hopeless 
By All That Remains

I just came back to read this poem and noticed your response to my comment...I don't know you but your poetry is very emotional....I am not one of religion, but if you seek guidance or help, many churches will extend you a hand....you look way too young to be experiencing the burden you hold within....I hope you find comfort and are not timid in asking for help...

Greet poem and story.....and where have you been? Always looking to see your latest write and there have been none for a while. Hope all is well with you! Have referred many to your "A Legion of Soldiers" poem and "A Sailor's Tale."

I have lost my words. My sorrow has overwhelmed me. I do not think anyone could handle what I hold within. Truth, so powerful, it could destroy those who read it. I'm lost somewhere and I don't know how to escape.
