Darkness

Darkness by Linda hillier 24/02/2013



You wake up and ponder

maybe wonder whats the point

all u can see is the darkness

all u can feel is the world's despair

it envelopes you until u can't breath

u struggle to sit up and push it away

but all that surrounds you is darkness


How can u free yourself from its chains?

what will bring u a ray of light

we all have a guiding spirit to lead us

to take us back to the light

look around when u are in despair

think of others worse off than yourself


see the truth that stares us all in the face

just open your eyes and your heart too

and back into the shadows the darkness will fade

About this poem:
this was inspired by one of the poems I read on here by poet number one (hope you don't mind) I could feel the sadness and despair in his life and deep in his heart when he wrote of his friend
