Hidden in dark corners

Contributed by lostinmyself on Thursday, 2nd June 2005 @ 04:54:41 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



Darkness walked close by with daylight,
Throwing shadows all over the world.
To cover up one hidden corner,
Wherein hid a lone little girl.
She hugged her knees in the darkness,
Trying to push out the light,
Her tears became her companion,
To show her that it was alright.

She shook in the grey of the morning,
Fearing the time they could see,
The walls that had crumbled around her,
Revealing her misery,
She couldn't find strength in her being,
After hiding behind all the night,
She had lost touch with faith in the darkness,
And shied away from morning's light.

Nothing could save her from feeling,
Her tears gave her help from the pain,
The morning was way too revealing,
The darkness had hidden the stain.
She prayed to be colder than freezing,
To somehow put pain to an end,
But she knew that it wasn't the answer,
So she tried hard not to pretend.

She wept for someone to hold her,
But prayed for people to leave,
To go without looking behind them,
So she would not have to grieve.
Just curl up in her dark little corner,
And wish the stars all to sleep,
So she could breathe in her home full of darkness,
With her tears keeping her company.

Sweety, there is light after darkness how ever unlikely that may seem at this point.
Stay strong and only focus on the good things in your life. Embrace yourself with all that is good and sincere.

A very touching poem, heartbreaking really. No one should have to endure so much pain in life.

huggsss,

I really like this poem, as sad and tragic as it is. It seems to depict a young girl feeling helpless and terrified, and perhaps shamed. The theme seems, to me, to center on her ambiguity about facing anybody. That's where you use the metaphor of dark and light so effectively.

Excellant poem

Will

Philly,
I know it's a tough time.
Please remember we are here for you. The pain doesn't always go away, but I promise you, it will become at least bareble.
Remember the love.
Phil

( and yes I know thet wasn't really a comment about the poem itself....tough.. ;) )

very eloquent and graceful, even though it is sad, and weary too, it seems. I think life gives us this feeling sometimes. I've felt a bit of it, perhaps, and heard it from other lips, but seldom as understood as it is here. I don't think life's hardness will keep you down, my friend.

Well, I might not be making a whole lot of sense here. This is a truly good piece of poetry, and has depth of emotion as well as very refined and skillful structure.

Take care, my friend.

Andrew

Bless your sweet little heart. If someone were to ask to describe this poem of yours in one word it would be Indecisiveness. And when you are indecisive, you are like the waves of the sea, first you are up, and then you are down. You must make up your mind dear, either or or! This always helped me find
my true self once again. Even if it's wrong, try it, but come to some conclusion, don't stay hid in your corner just wondering what to do. Jump from the shadows and just DO IT!!!
Extraordinary Write.........I felt every emotion possible. I'm so sorry and all I can do is hug you through my computer, but please know I love you, and so do many many others.

Warm love
consue
And thanking you
once again for all your wonderful comments
God Bless!

So many can be touched by this write, each one taking a little something different away with them. For me it touches the places in my heart ,mind, and soul that reel from recent events in my life.
Keep writting this touched me at my core.

philly this was a masterpiece. i felt you captured every essense of this exceptionally, though that may be a bad thing seeing as how its a personal write and all that entails. i could go on and on about this poem, but it would only echo what you already know about your talent.
