Click hereI am surrounded by people and yet i feel so alone
in solitude set far away beneath the world
no prying eyes catch a glimpse of who I really am
no soul can fathom the torment of the demons that haunt me
their cries, like wounded animals begging for release
hoping for one day that their pain can cease
I know of this pain they harbor, I endure it myself
praying one day for it all to vanish under the waves of time
to end its hold on me and let me be
unshackle my bonds and set me free
I can understand the moan and cries of the damned
fore I am well aware if their melody, I am also forsaken
cast out from the perverbial garden into the darkness of despair
release me foul world of the righteous and crude
leave me be and let me die alone in my solitude.

Shotokan07about 19 years agoSimplicity is the key to the poem. I'm not one of them to critique you, but will give you a straight response. That darkness isn't haunting you, you are it. All the pain that inflicts to your soul, it is your own bagage (sp?).
