Darkness Poem by Nick Kler

My life takes me down
Into the depths of darkness
It take decades
to climb back out, at last

Pain that I endure
Just to live this life
Cut's every cell
of my soul
Into million fragments
of death

Moments that I tossed away
Are always in collision with me
hiding behind my shadows
Decays my mind with sorrows

Trying to walk through
this strange numbness
Voids of betrayal
sting's me deep

Weight that I have to carry
Of deep scars
from my demonic past
Devours my every moment alive

Chains that are tying me down
Of past regrets and future fears
Fate, debilitating my spirit
Destiny famished,
on the brink of death
