Hills and Valleys

by jennaleeexxx   Jan 21, 2008


The darkness swallowed me whole,
gasping for air
running,
running from all that i fear,
or that fears me.

running from dreams,
friends,
family,
reality,
and her.

her as in the one who sucks the goodness out of my life and watches the happiness leave as they form into teardrops.

does she feel my pain?
is she aware of the grasp that kills silently?
or even what she does to me?

as she swirls into her drug addiction,
preparing to hit rock bottom.
but what i don't see before me,
is that she's running from the same fear as I.

    Wow!!! This is a very powerful, strong, emotional poem. I think it's great; even though it has a few bumps that needs smoothing. Some lines run on a little bit longer than the others and some are very, very short. I know that is probably how you wanted it to be read, but it's kind of distracting. You also need to work on your capitalization. Those are the only few suggestions that I have because the poem speaks for itself. It is very sad and emotional. You have done a great job. Pat yourself on the back.
