I'm actually quite proud of this one, I wrote it a few days ago. I'll be uploading new poem soon, I've got a lot of them that are written down on paper or I've just not gotten to upload yet so... Anyway I hope you enjoy reading this poem as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I wake up in the lingering darkness

Ripped away from hope and joy

I suffocate in the ever growing presence

Of my own desperate thoughts

.

Once more the blinding sun rises

And a touch of light warms my skin

The darkness hides from the brightness

Yet the shadows refuse to flee

.

I lose myself in the pressure of the day

And smile to push away my sorrow

Yet from the corner of my eye

I see the shadows follow me

.

The place I used to call home

Now only shows me broken memories

In my heart I can still feel the remnants

Of the love you once gave to me

.

But every fiber of my body

Is burdened by my shame

Words that burn into my soul

Remind me of what I am

.

I will not beg for pureness

For even hope’s denied to me

I will not plead for mercy

For I don’t deserve to live

.

And I wonder why it never ends

As dark tendrils cover my body

Trapping me inside this pain

While I gasp for clear air

.

Release me from my fear

The blame you lay on me

Take away the shackles

That anchor me to the dark

.

I cannot take this torment

Let me lose myself in lies

Reality’s a nightmare

Let me dream again
