Dark Was The Only Light Poem by Nebil Elias

Alone in this dark room, I belong
All I can do is sing a sad song
I'm all broken wish if I died
I don't know how I'm still alive

I lay here in this room, black as the night
Where the dark was the only light
All gloom to black, again and again
Gave me no mercy to live, injects me with pain

Withdrawn I step away just to find myself
In the deep dark, I find myself in this solemn maze
This walk has nearly taken all
I try and try to exit but there is no way

In this maze, I feel so small
I'm stumbling and tripping,
Every move is a fall
I keep searching and walking
It doesn't matter which way I turn I just run into a wall

Deep in my mind
As I lay in the dark
Thinking when this darkness will end
And when will I see the light again
