Down, down, down
June 11, 2013
I sit here in the darkness,
Hoping, praying for a savior.
Is there a God?
If so, why hasn't he saved me yet?
If not, what’s after life,
Other than the afterlife?
Is there any way you can save me?
The darkness is condemning me
I feel my soul being swallowed by dark thoughts
In a spiral
Down, down, down
Hurry, I need you to rescue me
I hear you coming down the hall
But can you get to me before I fall
Down, down, down
The dark thoughts have won
And I cry as I flush the toilet.
You’re too late now.

Hello there. I thought that this was a wonderful poem! The title leaves an open perspective for the reader, which I really enjoy. I like trying to guess what a poem will be about before I read it. I could not guess this one! But, anyways, I thought you did a great job as far as balancing out the emotion in this poem and describing things very well. It was really interesting to read, the beginning questions are very controversial. Getting to the end and seeing what it was about made me really sad. The emotion you build up through the poem leading to the end is great, you did a wonderful job with that. This poem was wonderful. It reminded me of my poem called 'Porcelain Friend'. Good job!
