"Dark Night of my Soul."

[malakaix]

Lost within a sense of time and eternity
Drifting aimlessly throughout the shadow.
Holding onto the fragments of past identity
Seeking to make myself hallow.

Loneliness becomes my only companion
Through this dark night of the soul.
Depression; its twin brother
And despair the mother of them all.

Burdened with this deep sense of knowing
With hope as far away as the edge of space.
I fall to my knee's surrounded by eternal darkness
And cry out; God give me your grace!

you seem to have no problem with this
;-)


i imagined it as numbers and shapes for a moment, and the second 'stanza' really peaks up and builds into the "creator" who turns out to be despair: a huge sub-tractor in thought and feeling.


but then to ask for it in such despair, and in such a negative zone is not at all that desperate or negative; it seems to me - more of an equalizing.


i guess what i can take from it is - accepting the shit is the only way to get past it, sometimes.

Your quite right.

The poem, put simply is an expression of the breakdown of my identity over time, the ultimate surrender.. with absolute acceptance.

Again, thanks for your feedback PiP Re-reading through the poem actually brought more depth towards the surface then what i had initially noticed, and allowed me to further clarify some aspects of myself that were otherwise merely a murky puddle of thoughts and emotions.
