Cold Dark Corner
There's a cold dark corner
in the back of my room,
it speaks to me
and says I'm coming for you.
As I lie on my bed
in the fetal position,
my eyes are closed
hoping and wishing.
Maybe that one day
my dreams will come true,
that I don't have to be here
so down and blue.
The corner keeps talking
about how I'm going to die,
all I can do
is lie there and cry.
As the corner gets closer
and takes me in,
my soul starts to burn
as so does my skin.
My bones shall lie there
turning to dust,
my bed surrounding
nothing but rust.

It's always hard to comment on dark poems that are so personal. Like how can I say, "great poem" or "I like this a lot" when such feelings deserve to be comforted by a friend. I understand these feelings, have been there many times and I can respect you for putting it out there for all to see. The fact is I do like this poem and I feel like I am supposed to shower you in my years of wisdom on how life will get better, so hang in there speach. But having been there, I found I really didn't want to hear all that. I do like to offer myself as a listener for those who really need someone to talk to and won't judge them. It is often harder to talk to close friends and family than a stranger and it can't hurt to vent. I think it's also great to write poetry in the most difficult times. It has always helped me to release the inner me. jj

Thanks for those kind words. And it is nice to know I'm not alone. But not nice to have to go through it.
