A Fulgent Darkness
Every moment brings vivid fears
And life is lost within the tears
Memories cry from deep inside
Where hopelessness and hurt reside
Regrets of all that should have been
Incessantly keep crushing in
Monsters eager to open wide
Gnash you apart from every side
You're nothing left that can be found
And no one hears that crunching sound
The snarling roars always appear
Just when you think the coast is clear
Terrorize and try you for size
A perfect fit for your demise
The poison fills you everywhere
Gives nourishment to your despair
So intensely you are made to feel
The seething rage you can't conceal
Existence only lives to fight
Happiness that shoots on sight
The trail of pain meanders through
Endless worry you can't subdue
You're powerless to get away
From the tortures that greet each day
Escape decides which way you choose
Take any path but still you lose
No place to hide and you can't outrun
The monsters that are everyone
Screaming silence is all that's heard
Reach out but love's forever blurred
Severed smiles and strangled dreams
A timeless slave to your extremes
The haunting thoughts you can't appease
When worthlessness is your disease
A faceless shadow outside the light
Consuming darkness that still burns bright
The seclusion that you know so well
Defines the place where misfits dwell
You yearn to find some secret place
Where bitterness cannot replace
The laughter that you used to know
But tomorrows died there long ago
Such horrid things reserved for you
Your hatred has an awesome view
Relentless stings that paralyze
For every word's a swarm of lies
The scars that bear the final thrust
A testament to those you trust
A future that you never knew
While failures had their big debut
The tragedy of what you became
But the victim has himself to blame
You just let go and fall below
It's misery that steals the show
Such emptiness was meant to be
Through merely death would you be free
And life is lost within the tears
Memories cry from deep inside
Where hopelessness and hurt reside
Regrets of all that should have been
Incessantly keep crushing in
Monsters eager to open wide
Gnash you apart from every side
You're nothing left that can be found
And no one hears that crunching sound
The snarling roars always appear
Just when you think the coast is clear
Terrorize and try you for size
A perfect fit for your demise
The poison fills you everywhere
Gives nourishment to your despair
So intensely you are made to feel
The seething rage you can't conceal
Existence only lives to fight
Happiness that shoots on sight
The trail of pain meanders through
Endless worry you can't subdue
You're powerless to get away
From the tortures that greet each day
Escape decides which way you choose
Take any path but still you lose
No place to hide and you can't outrun
The monsters that are everyone
Screaming silence is all that's heard
Reach out but love's forever blurred
Severed smiles and strangled dreams
A timeless slave to your extremes

wow, this piece captures the doom of a tortured existence perfectly. Screaming silence is all that's heard
Reach out but love's forever blurred
Severed smiles and strangled dreams
A timeless slave to your extremes
you've got some talent here.... filtered that raw pain into an amazing display of poetry.
