    my dark world

    consumed by the thoughts that race in my mind
    overwhelemed by the feelings that fester inside
    withdrawn from the things that i love in my life
    and blinded by the dark that fills up my eyes


    the blinders i wear forced upon me
    by the pain that i feel and the light that i seek
    i focus upon the things i can see
    but only if they pertain to my need


    in the dark where i live struggle and fight
    unable to see past the dark to the light
    the demons at play hinder my sight
    as the ghosts from the past taunt with delight


    the world where i live is not the one that should be
    but the demons and ghosts would fast disagree
    with my blinders in place they can so guarentee
    that i'll stay in the dark and never be free

    Fantastic flow and overall feel on this one. Love the last stanza, particularly the first two lines... 10 from me.

    The demons choke you with dark 'till you end up loving it. Paints a solid picture of a tormented existence. [withdrawn from the things that I love in my life]

    Definitely dark and brooding... really well worded and nice flow and rhyme. ~ ☮

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
