Darkness About My Heart Poem by Alison Smith

Darkness About My Heart

Rating: 5.0


Deep within my soul
A darkness is about my heart
The simple pleasures are no longer
No suns rays reach me now

Oh! Why am I always sad?
How can I once more see the light?
What will it take to free me this time?
Do I have it within me to try?

Wondering and wishing
Scared and bemused
What do I have to do now?
To reach the other room

Deep in the glen the flowers bloom
Reaching the spot is the trick
It only takes one step
Perhaps I dont want to try.

I enjoyed this write Alison. I hope someday I can write as honest as this without masking true reflections. It is tough at times indeed and doesn't matter who this one was written for...it is tough to pen such words...Good write...Steve
