Enervated Poem by Smoky Hoss

Enervated

Rating: 5.0


The child within, lit his own little candle
And set it at the center of the valley so large,
Brilliantly it beamed, and gloriously illuminated all about him;
That is until, all the others came rushing in
Lighting candles of their own,
Then his flickered in fear, slowly fading away...
blown asunder, by the crowds cold wind.

I love this. Not only is it lyrical, but it speaks of our society as a whole- the way that so much is imposed on so many people that want nothing more than to be who they are.

That feeling of being insignificant - know it so well. Great write.
