*this poem was written on wednesday night from pure anger. it sounds a little rough to me, so plz let me kno what you think ^_^*

Stars in the Darkness

I gaze into the black abyss stretched above me
Willing my thoughts to be absorbed into it
Wanting my mind as clear as the sky
Lying atop this hill, I am consumed by the pressing darkness
Without any lights to guide me and give me hope of escape
Just as I will soon be

I’d hate to be lost to my own mind
But I can already feel myself being eased into its embrace
Potent and calm, it waits
Eagerly patient to consume me forever

Though I lay peacefully in the shroud of darkness that is night
A mental war is fought in vain
Between me and the gaping hole of my conscience
No matter what actions I take, it’s constantly gaining ground
It seems my defeat is inevitable
And with each blow to my defense, I realize it more

Now, as the darkness presses onward
I am left with nothing
No will, no hope

And oh, how I wish to see the stars

~~Poetry is written emotion~~

I can feel the anger below this very potent it threatens to overwhelm it but flows quite well anyway anger is a great tool for a poet if you can tap it allows more purity of intent than any other emotion

I went to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

WOW! This is amazing. Your words made me feel as though I were laying on that hilltop with you. And I, too, was searching for the stars.
