Dark Places

by Bill Turner   Aug 31, 2005


There are dark places people seldom go
Hidden in the recesses of their mind
Emotions people rarely show
Feelings they would rather not find

Some people live here
They never come into the light
These are the ones society does fear
They lock them up, out of sight

Survival then becomes key
They do what they must do
It could happen to you or me
All you thought of life would be through

Beware of the edges of the map
There be monsters out there
This no man’s zone can turn a life to crap
While society watches without a care

Once society has you down
You’re supposed to stay there
Wear your forever frown
Develop your cold hard stare

    ^that describes me in a lot of ways...I keep a lot of things to myself, hidden, nobody knows... I absolutely love this poem from begining to end. One of my favorites you've written so far. It has the perfect rhyme and flow. Excellent, excellent job!!!

    PS. I'm happy to have my opinion valued...lol (like it does matter) haha
    Keep up the good work!
