Shadows
I cloaked myself in shadows
That became my life..
The darkness washed
Over, and I was soon lost.
I felt safe.. Yet I had time
To think.. Frustration consumed
Me.. The thoughts inside
Screamed haunting chants,
And create a type of chaos..
It's gotten to a point
Where pain has clashed with hope.
I was wounded to heal,
And I was wounded to feel..
But within these shadows,
Somewhere, there should be
A light, that the ninth kind
Has not pummbled..
Within these shadows..
I'll dwell til I can find myself,
No longer cloaked in darkness..
That became my life..
The darkness washed
Over, and I was soon lost.
I felt safe.. Yet I had time
To think.. Frustration consumed
Me.. The thoughts inside
Screamed haunting chants,
And create a type of chaos..
It's gotten to a point
Where pain has clashed with hope.
I was wounded to heal,
And I was wounded to feel..
But within these shadows,
Somewhere, there should be
A light, that the ninth kind
Has not pummbled..
Within these shadows..
I'll dwell til I can find myself,
No longer cloaked in darkness..

Well written...you'll surely find the light,if you really want to find the light,that's everybody's plight. Once again nice write.

..Indeed
It is easier for some, harder for others but
knowing of the light is enough for all

This paints a wonderful dark picture of emotional surrender before reaching again for the surface. I like it, a lot!

15 with an ancient soul, I too shun the light it's not something I do intentionally or premeditated it's just who we are. The thing of it is if you do not find a silver lining or a ray of sunshine, the darkness will become you, its sad I suppose that so many smiles are disgenuine
but not everything you'll see in life is untrustworthy I promise, I have a feeling you,ll stay, the darkness soothes the wounded soul. my time on this earth is coming to a close, that's what truely makes me smile, I really liked your work, the depth, the embitterd unrest. Perhaps I will look in on you from time to time

Spoken like a true poet, deep from within the heart. I agree, but sometimes it doesn always heal, sometimes it can cause more harm.. So I loose either way :/.. But okay <3
