Sleepwalking In The Shadowlands

Because of you I see the world in bitter hues of black
Salvation is a door locked shut down a corridor of pain
You bleached the goodness in my soul, tainted it with the stain of acid hate
I am part of a disconsolate army, a disciple of fears
Shackled to disenchantment, wandering the mist
Champion to torment, I hold its brutal banner proud
Salute me pessismism. I have rallied to your cause
My brittle shell encased in the steel of mistrust
Yet the wire noose of despair strangles and chokes
I am lifes captive, sleepwalking in the Shadowlands
Feet chained to hopelessness, shuffling through the dust
No escape from the sword you hold me under
The prisoner, locked in a world without walls
Damned to self-loathing, in a veil of self doubt
I see nothing but the emptiness of a candle snuffed out

| "Acid hate," unfortunately very topical right now, great expression of the devastating long lasting effect of negativity introducing self loathing and mistrust. I felt the chains! Interesting you put "self/'/,destroyed by others. I have met people who have every reason to be destroyed but the stronger the fire of negativity the better the diamond. Always a pleasure to find your writing. |

Excellent poem
I also know people who have become unraveled by the deeds of dreadful humans and although I reside in the shadow-lands by choice I have mingled with the crippled pilgrims driven there by manipulation..... |
