In the dark I lay...

by Cate Rock   Jun 22, 2009


In the dark I lay,
Motionless, still,
Nothing to do or say.

Its in this darkness I see myself clearly,
Its in this hell i see my life through another's eyes.

I lay so still and quiet i plead to god for no one to look for me...
I lay here in the dirt on the side of this divided street in the darkest of hours...just seeking myself pulling my feeling out from within.
I plead to any god to save me...save my soul save my life...
No one answers...not like they ever did...
I look up and see an unfamiliar face...its words so clear.
Never one to help myself yet this voice knows me...
it knows my name...i help myself up.
I force myself to move on...
Somehow for it instead of myself...
Not ready to admit it not ready to face this again...
I move i shutter i flinch at its words...
But i move on...
I learn to breathe for myself again.
I learn to walk the night again...
But i learn to except love again...
Always looking to fall again...
But for the voice....i stay strong.

    >>to me this poem started off so strong and as i progressed though it just got weaker and weaker.
    lines 19,20,21,22 have the same word at the end and is a bit off putting.some spelling mistakes and grammer problems - all of which can be fixed in 2minuets when in editing mode.<<

    Not bad, could be better.
