Clouded By Darkness

A Short Poem

By Rika LekayPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I'm clouded...

My mind can barely understand me

It doesn't know right from left

My eyes are having trouble understanding my brain

I cannot see...

I’m swaying...

Back and forth,

Back and forth...

The world is foggy

What color is this rose to you?

You claim it's red

But that's impossible

I don't see red

It's all grey I see

I don't see what you see

I lost it all...

Tumbling, tumbling

I come crashing down

They've stopped working

But I still cannot see

What evil demon stole that from me?

This isn't over...

I can feel it...

But I can't move...

I'm left to die like this...

...in the nothingness...

...in the darkness...
