Dark, darker and darkness;
Are only things left around me.
If I stumble towards white bend;
Still, I just see is darkness.
Has tragedy befallen on me?
Or has my world crumbled underneath?
Millions of questions shoot up,
And All I can remember is;
That you left me!
Thrown into confusion and bizarre situations,
I tried to tackle it with best solutions.
Still, there is darkness in my mind and heart,
Waging my way through it is tough enough.
I shout and hurt myself as I move away;
Yet it creeps on me like an evil shadow.
“Carry me out.” “Take me out.” My voice pleads;
Yet no one can see the darkness around me!
Dark, darker and darkness;
Are the only things left around me.
But there is hope, yes, I can see,
I’m sure that someone will surely;
Take me out of this; and then;
Dark, darker and darkness
Will no longer walk with me!
Using the three words together,and repeating them.. Dark, darker,darkness is brilliant .. It emphasizes the mood so well, especially u chose to use the word 'darkness' instead of the superlative 'darkest'
ReplyDeleteAnd my favourite, as always, that silver lining, that one ray of hope towards the end :)
And this poem reminded me of a fav song 'Ravine' by ace of base. Am pasting the lyrics here, do listen to the song as well :)
ReplyDeleteHave you heard, have you heard?
About this girl who was ripped up by her roots
Have you heard, what she learned?
Like humility - you win when you lose
I have learned, I have learned
The most horrifying nights have an end
I was hurt, I was lost
In the dark I found a way to a friend
I am standing here in my ravine
Once again I see a piece of the sky
And my joy'll never be denied
'cause I was meant to be here -
The only place on earth
Where you are near, where you are near
Was a flower, was so frail
And I let the trees grow wild around me
Grew so high, hid the sky
Shaded everything I needed to see
Then one night, someone came
Took a knife and ripped me up by my roots
Tossed astray, far away
In the darkest night, I started to pray
I am standing...
Why do you, why do you ask?
Why I'm not blaming my god?
I'll tell you, I'll tell you what
He was the only one there
I am standing...
