Trapped In Darkness

darkness creeping
silent - spider like
creating inky webs
encompassing my reality
constricting - terrifying

yet why care?
somber - dusky wounds
suicide thoughts
enter into my mind
like baby spiders
hatching from corrupt spider eggs
I cry - I cry some more
I dream of escape

why not?
damaged I am
peace I seek
why live
when living is painful
dreadful
horrible
like so many spiders
crawling around inside

Yes, the horror of the darkness when it envelopes us. It is like a dark monster taknig over our reality...like nasty spiders. Good stuff here.

I feel such personal pain in this hauntingly poetic piece. Your words are proof you have the heart and mind of an artist. You put words to feelings so well.

But I got the heebee jeebees. Spiders creep me out... I have arachnophobia.

This one gave me the chills. Read like a nightmare but being trapped in darkness would be a nightmare. Very chilling poem but one that is well done.

A very chilling, spooky horror poem. The part about the spiders made me cringe.
