Where Will They Find You

Where Will They Find You Contest Sponsor: Marugu MO Shadows of clattering glass fallen deep below the surface, schrieks of yesterday's magnets longing for redemption, caves of internal shards of regret, I can't handle the curses, the black crow cries out that it was never his intention. Underneath I hide...writing books upon books of verses, I crawl and dig for someone up there to pay attention, falling further into the cave, I'm filthy and skirmish, I should've seen the days ahead full of vile tension. Left forsaken and forlorn there's no way to resurface, why I stay and live down here I have no comprehension, fire from my eyes, smoke from my internal furnace, my contaminated dungeon with six by six dimension. I can't imagine a life without frightening disturbance, my dwelling exists in a location beneath life's ascension, search all you want but we won't find a steady concurrence, I've learned my harsh lifestyle promotes instant retention.

This piece has a great balance of 'accepted sadness' coupled with an internal understanding to me...not to mention that the description is great.. very weighted words, easy to feel. A great job luloo-- congratulations on your placement :)
