When Darkness Is Real

by Robert   Sep 3, 2004


The Darkness I feel surrounds my body and soul,
but there is one thing that will not die at it's toll.
I am frightened and it gives me constant stress,
It is a source that makes me want to die I must confess.
For every action I commit too, or dare to try,
it leaves me with one question as to why?
Why does this dark forbidding thing want me,
when shall I be away from this hell to be set free?
What words of conviction must I pass,
is there life beyond this hellish mass?
I look to the good book and pray with all my might,
but I feel I am dieing slowly in this fight.
My body aches my chest heaves with pain,
should I go one more step or is it all in vane?
Oh tell me are you the Lord God I need to pray too,
are you God or are you not true?
Relieve me from this hell and grant me the means to believe,
give me one day so that this body and soul will not grieve.
Let this soul you put on this Earth finally cope,
grant me this one time so that I may see hope.
Hear my prayer and shine you Godly light,
please master take me in your arms and show me your might.
Let my body rest by your side so that I may heal,
whisper your words of love to me and give me back my will.
Please show me the person you want me to be,
a being that is loved by God and has her soul set free.

    I think this poem would be better if you would ditch the rhyming. It just seems too predictable and expected. As I mentioned in another comment, your poems would be much easier to read if they were broken in stanzas. Also there are a few spelling errors 'dieing' to dying and 'vane' to vain. So with the exception of grammatical errors and such.. it was a really good poem.

    The ending was good. It was, once again, somewhat forced with an unbalanced flow. I saw a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors but it is very good at conveying the message. <3
