Inner Darkness (Collaboration with Ms Happiness)

by Thomas   Jun 20, 2012


We all felt
How darkness can consume
Everything inside of you
With no hope of recovering

Every step we make,
every breath we take, is counted
We will either fall,
or so high we'll fly

fear of judgment
will get us nowhere
the trials of life
we must bear

The sound of failure,
keeps knocking our ears
Pushing us down,
driving us to give up

but with darkness comes light
shining through the clouds of our mind
giving us mental weapons
and the spirit to keep up the fight

    We all felt
    How darkness can consume
    Everything inside of you
    With no hope of recovering
    .....Loved your intro here. I would suggest you not capitalize the first letter of line 2,3 and 4 since its just one long line. Really trues, that sometimes, it seems darkness gets the upper hand and you lose all hope of finding light again.

    Every step we make,
    every breath we take, is counted
    We will either fall,
    or so high we'll fly......
    .....I would suggest you rethink line 4 of this stanza, i think "or fly high" will be better unlike "or so high we'll fly"...i also dont think the comma is necessary at the end of line 3, that must be removed.

    fear of judgment
    will get us nowhere
    the trials of life
    we must bear.....
    ...i think there should be a comma at the end of line 2 in this stanza. I loved the little rhyming you put in this stanza though it sounds forced but anyway, i like it

    The sound of failure,
    keeps knocking our ears
    Pushing us down,
    driving us to give up....
    ....i dont think the comma is necessary at the end of line 1 in this stanza. This stanza was well written, loved how you personified failure to be like a person knocking you, just whispering in your eyes to give in to it, well written.

    but with darkness comes light
    shining through the clouds of our mind
    giving us mental weapons
    and the spirit to keep up the fight...
    .....i have a suggestion here "But with darkness comes light that shines through"..hope you like it. Overall, this is a good piece that had good content, its a great collab from you two
