Abyss Poem by Gregory (gshaw57) Upshaw

Abyss has engulfed me!
Darkness has overshadowed me!
The burden of life has overwhelmed me!
My soul harden with grief,
Madness, insanity is my life now!
Nevertheless, try as I might,
The scope of life further escapes me!
Who am I now?

I feel like a stranger now!
Someone without purpose,
Someone without country or foundation,
As if my inner-self, isolated, distant, beyond approach,
But, yet still here in this spiritual world,
Lost, abandoned and forgotten!

Forgotten, no home to speak of,
But, then a sprinkle of hope shines,
If only 4-that moment!
Distal but real,
Then a cry, a scream, a frantic yell!

Dad! Dad! She cries,
I realized, as I awaken from this reverie,
I am still here!
Awoken from this alarming abyss,
To live for another day!
