When I look at my life.
I feel cold.
I see darkness ahead of me.
I feel as if heavy rain is falling on me.
The wind is constantly ruining whatever I make.
When leaves fall from the trees.
So do I; I become quite powerless.
My days are always dark and dreary.
My thoughts are not working properly.
My intellect appears to be fatigued.
I want to stand still.
I'm looking for a way to live peacefully.
I think the heavy clouds will move.
The sun will shine its light upon me.
My fate will manifest under the sun's rays.
And I'll rejoice forever.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Wow! Very powerful and moving piece! I love the ending with the glimmer of hope, but hope nonetheless. The last line I also agree with others that it is a solid ending, but also perhaps, a new beginning.
That ending eas very hopeful. Loved your poem!
Very strong work here. keep going
Very relatable and immensely emotional. Powerful work here.
