The day is still the light is dim 

The fire burns deep within.

The soft pillow underneath my head soaks up my tears,

And keeps me still as the night departs. 

I close my eyes and forget the place 

Where I found dread and hate, and distress. 

One foot in front of the other I trudge along

Feeling the darkness follow me

Surrounding itself around my heart, feeling its wrath. 

It was in pain. 

I took a walk down melancholy path. 

I hear the voices screaming the sounds of fear 

They let me know that I am near. 

The air, the beauty of the world has faded

The fields are covered with sorrow’s aftermath. 

The sea turns to ice

The sky turns black 

I took a walk down melancholy path. 

My body stops and falls to the ground.

An unholy spirit rises to greet the world. 

The silence is painful. 

The hate, the fear, the sadness washes over my heart, 

Cutting it like a knife.

The pain is unbearable.

There is no solution 

The spirit washes away 

Feeling regains

But I refrain 

I hold my breath.

The world turns grey. 

melancholy path fades away.


The author's comments:

This year I have been going through some rough times, and was having a hard time expressing how I felt, so I decided to write a poem about what I was going through and what other people might be going through too. I wanted people to know that other people are experiencing what they are experiencing too, and that they are not alone.
