Solitude

I sit in solitude                                                                                                     staring at the sky                                                                                               Speaking to the stars in space                                                                    Searching for something 

I sought to stop the sorrow                                                                                 that seeped through my skin                                                                         Struggling to swim through the storm                                                      Screaming                                                                                                       Staggering

Systematically sleepwalking                                                                                     Speechless                                                                                                                  At a standstill, I stay.                                                                                                                Soon, I'll slip away                                                                                                       Softly                                                                                                                        Into the smoke

A slave to the shadows                                                                                           sweeping the streets                                                                                 Steamrolling my surroundings
    
Silently suffering                                                                                                     No longer surviving                                                                                                  No longer succumbing                                                                                             to staying standing
                                                                                                                   

I stop   

Spared from my sadness

I sink

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
