Blackness
Yelling, screaming, crying
Tears falling, sobs growing
Faith disappearing, Rage winning
Love forgotten, Hate is a friend
No one stops to listen
No one cares for none
Am I alone?
Do only I hear the cries?
Is the anger all anyone knows?
The blackness they must feel
Why do they want to feel that rage?
My heart aches with every yelled word
Every cry, every sob
With every hit my heart breaks
Betrayal, pain so great
Fear is now unavoidable
Do you feel my tears
I do not want the blackness
That anger bears
I do not want my soul broken
The emptiness one must feel
The rage so great the hurt utmost
What happen to the love
The happiness, the joy
Please I implore you
Do not blacken my heart
Do not make me feel the hate
Please let me close
Let me show you the way
Frustrations run high this I know
But with kindness and love
This can be vanished into abyss
Anger is part of your life
Rage controls your every move
And as you think you have no control
You know in your heart you do
Blackness, darkness, loneliness
Is this what you truly want?
Turning an apathetic ear to cries
seeing nothing good or beautiful
is this really what you want?
Pain is strong
Pain can turn you upside down
But pain goes away
The emptiness you find
Can be filled
But only you can do this
The blackness has overcome you
Yet there still is time
But hurry quickly to change the way
For when your heart becomes as black
As the anger and rage you portrayed
And it returns its rage on you
No longer will there be
A way out of the darkness
All feel anger
One time or another
Many have been in your place
Many will yet find themselves there
Many will lose their hearts
Many will cry and yell
And scream and sob
Yet they will return
To the love and beauty
For they will not
Allow the rage the blackness
To Win
You have this choice
A choice only you can make
Please I beg, do not
Let the blackness win

| GreenIce, your comment gave me goosebumps is a good way. You saw where I was trying to go with this in pointing out truth is there. Sadly so many do not want to see truths as they really are, for that would mean their world they have believed in for so long being turned upside daow, Thank you so much for your comment and GreenIce your poetry speaks to me as well and I hope to see more of your work :o) |

"Betrayal, pain so great
Fear is now unavoidable"
"Please I beg, do not
Let the blackness win"
...and again.. my words that could have been stolen..there is a part of you that knows a part of me in these words... it's quite scary...
it's like...your words but me speaking....I could have wrote that...
Chaos in hate, anger, fear rule so many...I hope more read this..so maybe more will think twice..and realize what there truth is.... Thanks again.... |
