A Life in Pain
Where there was light,
there now is only darkness.
There is nothing but pain,
in a life of darkness.
No way to escape it,
it is always there.
Nothing can escape it,
for there is nothing.
All there is are the,
screams of the suffering.
there now is only darkness.
There is nothing but pain,
in a life of darkness.
No way to escape it,
it is always there.
Nothing can escape it,
for there is nothing.
All there is are the,
screams of the suffering.

A great poem, I must say! It is dark, filled with shadow, but there is fire: amidst that shadow too, the fire of creativity and a poetess’s passionate spirit. And it is that fire that infuses these verses with life and a certain measure of light that lies just within the darkness, waiting to be discovered. This is a great work too, because it is ambiguous without sacrificing its’ descriptiveness! It could be a poem about Hell, about a personal hell, about feelings of resignation towards one’s fate, or it can be about feeling like one is powerless to change something, and so power is sought through resigning oneself to the inevitable. There are so many possible meanings, and that is part of this poem’s dark charm… the way it can sing to different readers in different ways. I like both of your poems thus far, musical_wood_elf, and I do hope you pen more and more! :)
