We all are walking along a tightrope towards our death,
Life is a balancing act,
And those that don’t win, fall off into the chasms of the darkness …
Untitled
Undeserving of love
Or care
She cowers there
Hands clasped together
Around her tucked up knees …
Cacophony
A symphony of sound rings,
Penetrating the drums within,
Noise bouncing back and forth
Skittering around my head,
It’s lullaby calling to me, …
Providence
I hide in your shadow,
cowering from the light,
you don’t notice me,
you rule the earth,
sinners dying as you pass, …
Erebus
His head, full of dark scribbled clouds,
He turns away, hands covered over his eyes,
Hiding from the staring world,
Sharp eyes staring, glaring, buzzing a hole through his soul,
Burning, acid smelling, skin turning blackened, peeling away …
Rain
The water splatters joyfully on the
Window of despair, running down into
Rivers, meandering, with no care to
The pain insinuated within the room,
Sadness without expression, …
Daily Poetry: Day 35
Excitement in the air, yet I cower in the corner of my room, too many loud noises plummeting into my head, disturbing the peace, the silence, their wicked laughs controlling me, forcing me down, back into the darkness.
