Shadowed by Inner Demons

Contributed by essentially9 on Tuesday, 5th April 2005 @ 10:01:42 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Shadowed by Inner Demons

The shadows of a tear
Are gleamless in their hopelessness.
The darkness intensifies with fears
Leaving wake of loneliness.

The past was never left behind,
And my future is for a wasted life.
The present slowly dies,
And blood taints the sands of time.

The shadows of what could be
Are drowned in the tears of blood.
The suffocation by the red sea
Brings death to what was never enough.

My life is only wasting away,
And I just let it fade.
My life is so full of hate,
And it takes so little for one to fray.

It takes so little before one dies
From the shadows that were cried.

Very emotional and from the heart. Beautifully done! Sounds like there is some concern about your life being wasted.

A great poem,
Will

So despairing with great depth...
Oh so well done.
I especially liked the blood and tears aspect of it ;)

But seriously, this is so.....full!!! I just wish it was happier.
Awsome Job Jenn!

Again, great stuff. Emotional write that conveys so many feelings that come from that one particular theme. Oddly enough, that second stanza seemed to strike such a strong chord with me, it might even measure up to the brilliance of the conclusion of yours, (lol btw, i loved the conclusion :P ) all of which were entirely relatable. I've been through situations such as these, where all avenues are open, but never walked for whatever reason, and it's so constricting. Loved this piece.

"My life is only wasting away,
And I just let it fade.
My life is so full of hate,
And it takes so little for one to fray."

These 4 simple lines explain how i have felt many many times over the last few yrs .

Your poem reached deep inside of me and touched something I had long forgotten I had .

Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.
