Hole In Me


Hole In Me


Down I descend
in darkness
drowning


empty void
surrounds

suffocating
in silence
I open my
eyes


seeking light
not forthcoming


perpetual night
has fallen


I am gone

  1. Aw Steve. Such depression. Hope you have a stockpile of coping tools. Am here to talk if you need a depression buddy.

  2. You are so sweet to take the time to reach out to someone you don't even know to help them.. I wish there were more angels like you in the world

    Actually poetry is my main coping tool to flush all the crap that accumulates in my soul.
    I don't feel anymore depressed than usual, it's just sort a lingering feeling that follows me around like a giant shadow. It's almost a part of me but because it is such a constant in my life I've become very adept at dealing with it..

    Thanks for caring, your concern means the world to me ;)

  3. I know this feeling, but like all things in life, it doesn't last forever. Sometimes all there is to cling to is transientness, which can shine like a beacon through the night. Take care. - kat/@BeingMama

  5. I absolutely love this! I'd quote the whole poem if I could!
    I particularly loved the opening stanza with the alliterative 'd's
    "Down I descend
    in darkness
    drowning"

    It gives a sad, dread-coming and eerie feel.

    A thousand applause are in order

    1. Thanks Nada for the sweet comments... When my friends read dark poems like this they want to have me committed for my own personal safety..

      More and more my poetry is my catharsis as I try to purge and exorcise all these demons poking at my soul
