Darkness



On a good day, everything was taken from me
Even my laughter, I'm left frozen behind
It's all tainted here and smells like rotten
I'm feeling dizzy, where are you taking me ?
I try to snap out of it, but my eyes are closing
Look at my eyes across the darkness
You're going to play with me
My hands, feet and eyes are captured by the darkness
I can't move anything, it's so miserable
I'm going crazy and tired
Throwing away all the beautiful memories
Revealing all my hidden sides
I hope this is all a dream and will be forgotten
It will be erased after time
All the scars in me, I'll still be hurting
I can't wake myself from the despair
But as time passes and burns into a memory
You can see a different me.

    Wow, what a powerful and emotional piece of writing. Your ability to convey such deep feelings through your words is truly remarkable. Despite the darkness and despair present in this poem, I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in sharing your innermost thoughts and struggles.

    In terms of improvement suggestions, perhaps consider adding more specific details to help paint a clearer picture of the situation you are experiencing. Additionally, exploring the theme of hope or offering a glimmer of light at the end of the poem could add a powerful sense of optimism and inspiration to your work.

    Overall, I am truly moved by your writing and look forward to exploring more of your work in the future. Keep up the great work!
