~River of Darkness~
As I sit in the corner of this dark room
Full of hatred, full of grief
Wondering why I have these feelings
My thoughts are filled with nothing, only emptiness
I am sitting here crying
Crying a river of darkness
Can I ever be saved?
Trapped inside an empty room
With just me and the darkness
Knowing that nobody would hear me cry, hear me scream
The darkness engulfs me
I am falling, I am free
My soul searches for its way to freedom
Is this the day I will be free forever?
My dreams were shattered, knowing that I would never be free
Thoughts of the past filled my head instead
How I use to walk to school through dark alleys,
How I am always speechless with no words in my mouth
Now it’s the time to end all my pain and my years of endless tears
Everything will be gone
And I will be free this time
With this knife in my hand, sharp and jagged
I slid it across my wrist
Feeling all my worries and pain gone
I drift away, to a place where only I belong
And the world around me was gone…..
Hmm...I'd say I loved it, but in all honesty it rather scared me. It was very
dark, and I'm hoping that you don't really feel like suicide, 'cause that'd make
me sad (even though I've never actually met you). But then again, I know it's
possible to write darker-themed stuff without actually feeling too bad or
wanting to do what the poem talks about...so yeah.
As far as the poem itself goes, it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't say it's your best
work from what I've seen, but neither is it bad.
I hope you don't mind a few comments on why I'm not overly impressed with
it...if you do mind, then let me know and I'll edit this comment. Anyway, one
thing I noticed was the frequent word use; there were a few words -or forms of
the word- you kept using, like dark and free. I'm not saying that's bad in
writing, especially poetry, but if you vary it up it tends to have a better
effect.
I did, however, really like the lines "Crying a river of darkness/ Can I
ever be saved?" It depicts a feeling of helplessness, maybe even
hopelessness, but it's also a feeling that so many people can relate to. And
that's one thing valuable in a writer: being able to connect to your readers.
Using phrases that draw them into the piece, or that they can empathize with,
and those lines are a good example of it. There are a few different phrases that
I think held the same effect: "Trapped inside an empty room / With just me
and the darkness", "And I will be free this time", and "I
drift away, to a place where only I belong".
Anyway, I think it's good, but not your best. Keep it up, though! ^_^
