In The Dark Poem by Zachary Stefanski

by my father
Thomas Stefanski


Still alone…

Sitting in the dark

Wishing I were somewhere else

With better company


Looking to kill the pain

Have a beer!

Do a shot!

Trying to find a better place

I think I’m almost there…


Free of cares!

Mellow sets in

I think I feel good now

I have no past

I hope it lasts!


I’m getting drowsy now

Gonna fall asleep

Until the dream awakens me

Still in the dark

Same company..

Different day
