Voices From Below Poem by wayne bright

And so once again
I find myself in
Need of a friend
I find myself needing love
Hoping for help from above
But only hearing voices from below
Deep down inside is
Where I put it
Where I try to hide
This darkness that seems
To come over me when
I hear the voices from below
So I go outside and
Look for the sun in the sky
But only dark clouds I find
Light seems to pass me by
All that I have are
The voices from below
So is this my fate
Are friendships and love
For me to late
Am I destined to give in
To the voices from below
For me there is no
Sign from up above
No long walks in the light
Only hardships and blight
Given to me from
The voices below
So as I surrender
The flickering hope I had
And I start going mad
The only thing I have
Are the voices from below
