I'm in the darkness,
Sprawled on the floor,
Condemned,
Alone.

Seething with hopelessness,
Writhing with dissapointment,
Suffering,
Crying.

The putrid stench of my hate
Seeps through my heart's door,
Infects my body
and shows in my eyes.

My feelings are locked away,
Lost,
Broken,
Shattered.

A hand reaches into my night,
bringing to my despair a dim light.

That hand is Parent.
That hand is Brother.
That hand is Friend.
That hand is Lover.
That hand is Hope. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Aeris030388 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I like this poem as a ray of hope to cure depression. This is a very good analogy for life.

Amazing and powerful. You show a hint of genius in this work. For anyone to set up seclusion and lonliness so well and end it with such infinite hope is talent. But to do it in less than thirty lines is well masterful. I find this write to be just brilliant and I will be looking forward to more of your work!

HELLUVA JOB!

Beautiful job. It's simple, but very lyrical, and just does a good job of expressing the emotion, the pain and the grace. Well done.
