In the darkness i sit alone I no longer feel at home This house brings bad luck and pain The memories make me go insane my mind cant be at peace I wish these thoughts and anguish would cease The good times hurt more than the bad The loss is so incredibly sad Im a lone traveller now I have to move on somehow The weather maybe sunny and bright Still inside a storm brews tonight The clouds hang overhead They are the ones filled with sadness and dread The exterior of my face Lies to all of my minds dark place To be alone in company of others Even when surrounded by sisters and brothers The light so dim i cant see my feet Cant seem to lift myself from my seat The power of the mind can be a great thing It also can be so torturing I close my eyes and try and sleep again escape from the reality will that bring the end

Hi Beach, your write is exceptionally difficult to read given the font colour in relationship to background... it's too dark to read. Will you change that?
BeachnitOPMt gambier, South Australia AustraliaJan 25, 2013
Hi Rapture Thanks it is hard to read I know that was kind of on purpose but I have changed the font colour now :)
Wow beach this was a movingly deep read!!! I can really relate to this poem, still in hopes that it doesn't remain that way, a glimmer of light in the midst of dark times....

Hi Beachy Somehow I felt it had its purpose?...
So I don't have to go to spec-savers after all... Really liked your approach on this one x
rapturecapturekerry, Kerry IrelandJan 25, 2013
P.S.
That why I said "hear" what you had to say...not see...
beautifulyouNew York, USAJan 25, 2013
Wow.. to say this is a powerful write is an understatement.
I'm moved by the depth of your sorrow. Your loss is more than palpable, yet not untouched by the human hearts of those here.
I hope our presence somehow mitigates the anguish you share
