Darby's Ghost

on dark roads
they wait
and i don't go
not even in my mind
& in the bushes
above dark brown earth
raindrops fall
...trickling
down deep green leaves
& the rough hide
of a fatherly tree
by daytime
is a skein
of nightmare
in the dark
& under the black sky
& the silver stars
the wind roars
& sweeps
through the branches
each leaf crackling alive
and on the shiny streets
they wait in corners
deep and dark
planning my entrapment
and exquisite torture
i feel them in my heart
eating me from inside
dark voices of hate
savage teeth and eyes
heavy tall & brutal
not human somehow
they block my path
and make me small
and scared
they snarl and sneer
and laugh at me
they threaten me
they bar my way
and i am so close to home
so near the safe warm love
of my mom's smile
trapped
in confused humiliation
vulnerable/lost/helpless
alone/terrified/sick at heart
my lifespirit & fire disappear
forever...
replaced with fear
so deep
and wide
to cover me
a whole life long

Thanks Joel, it was a long long time ago now but the shadow those times cast still remains. Bullying is an awful experience and can scar you for life.
I have come through and can find happiness here and there but a nameless fear always seems to lurk just outside my awareness and darkens my days...
Thanks for your support here.. :D |
