Penumbra

Poetry Collection - 2

By The Perks of Being A BloggerPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

A soul that's torn

No sad goodbyes

The memories flashing before your eyes

Been dragged through hell and back again

For you this nightmare may never end

The years of torture you'll never miss

While you were lost in the abyss

The pain and sorrow you feel inside

All those voices inside your mind

They push till theres no solid ground

Over the edge where darkness is found

It may seem all light in you has died

And you feel your life is spent

You're tired of this wretched world

And all its ever meant

So you close your eyes and count to three

Ready to set your spirit free

But there is light in you I see

Its buried deep within

And even though you don't believe it be

It's clear for all the world to see

Don't give in to all your fears

Steady your heart and

Wipe away those tears

All is not lost

The future is still unclear

There is always another year

I see you standing there

On the edge of all reason

Where your hope has disappeared

and your faith committed treason

staring unseeing at the world around you

Never being able to admire the view

You've gone so far

Can't find your way back

Searching for the pieces

Off the beaten track

Filled with despair

thoughts racing through your mind

Wondering why the world has been so unkind.
