Darkness

Darkness is what I live
Darkness is what I breathe
Darkness consumes me
Darkness will never leave
Darkness is where I was conceived
Darkness will greet me when I die
Darkness has replaced love
Darkness is on my mind
Darkness will lead me to suicide
I used to be nice, I used to be fair
But I had no idea Darkness was always there
Until one day I couldn't take any more
And Darkness infected me like a dirty w***e
Life is pain, life is a lie, and I don't mean to brag
But I heard once that life is just death in drag
One day I will die, and I just can't wait
For Darkness to take me away from this life I hate
For some, Darkness comes and Darkness goes
But for me, Darkness is now all I know

I read "off-site" most of the time because my password is horrendous.
I had to sign on for this one from you...DARKNESS.
NEVER committ suicide. It's the unforgiveable sin.

Your writes are great, readers don't always comment.
Especially since your writes are SO UNIQUE...Words are hard to come by.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so.

Sergio, Bukowski was shocking in his writes. in a neighborhood of murder
murder
the roaches spit out
paper clips
and the helicopter circles and circles
smelling for blood
searchlights leering down into our
bedroom

5 guys in this court have pistols
another a
machete
we are all murderers and
alcoholics
but there are worse in the hotel
across the street
they sit in the green and white doorway
banal and depraved
waiting to be institutionalized

here we each have a small green plant
in the window
and when we fight with our women at 3 a.m.
we speak
softly
and on each porch
is a small dish of food
always eaten by morning
we presume
by the
cats.
.
(YOU are THAT GOOD.)

Dear Author,
Just a friendly reminder that your creativity and voice matter -- your stories and poems reach people, even when it might not always feel that way.

This poem is so honest and intense. It takes courage to put feelings like this into words. I do hope you’re okay, and please know there are people who care.

I also read the first chapter with Ballester Sallone -- such an interesting character, with his immortality and the chaos surrounding him.

Scorpious Alpha, I just want to wish you light through whatever darkness you’re going through, and hope that, just as you give voice to pain in your writing, you also find spaces of comfort and hope for yourself.

Warm regards,
Roma
