"Dark Shadows"

There is a Darkness
that eats away at me
from this Madness
I cannot flee

My tragic eyes
look in the mirror
reflected back
is my hurt, pain and fear

The Darkness conceals
the agony within
the awful battles
I fight again and again

We all go through moments of great suffering and pain. Some pain last longer than others for different people. And yes, I think the eyes are a mirror to the soul and we can see the suffering in others eyes. A extraordinary poem. I like it just the way it is and I think its not too simple.

This poem speaks to me. I can relate to it. I know exactly where this comes from. It's dark eloquence brings artistic beauty to the pain.

Not sure if it's 'simple', but it's short and to the point. Efficient.

[Tina Kline]

Thanks so much.

Those of us who've truly suffered know what it is to be caught in that loop… forever replaying the maze of our pain… searching, backtracking in our mind's eye… trying to find the way through, out of the maze and forward into Hope. That's what you've penned.

When I saw the title, I rather expected something in the traditions of the television show and/movie. This was better.

Fantastic job on this. The main makes me shiver, it seems so real.

[Star Wolf]

Very well written chilling poem. Not simple at all.
It has a strong impact on the reader, at least it did for me.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A very well written poem. Nothing really simple here.
You capture the pain we all go through in life.
A splendid write.
