Into the darkness I walk with head held high That horrible place where hope goes to die Devoid of all that is good and right A world that is bathed in eternal night The path to this land is paved with sorrow The kind that blocks sight of tomorrow I ride on the horse named depression Traveling like a funeral procession This is a trip never made by choice A trip for those who had no voice Those who obey and do as they are told Now I make the journey, alone and cold Demons of hate and anger prey on the weak This is not a place for the fragile or meek To travel here, you must have wits about you Without them, you shall never make it through Of this land there are only two ways out One is redemption for those without doubt The other is a grave one indeed Suicide, for those who choose to bleed I shall make it through, for I am strong The trip is dangerous, and the path is long But once before, I traveled this land And its tortures I can surely withstand [This message has been edited by Mistikman (edited 06-21-2000).] |

That was a great poem. That road is a horrible one to travel, but the strength to make it through is great and within all of us. Wonderful job!  "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

Dusk is here with vote of his own.. and how could I not vote for this poem? Into the darkness we go, but keep your eyes on the light. Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Bruce Springsteen once said: "God, have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of"... There is a little bit of darkness and uncertainty in all of us, some dwell on it, some like for the light. Great poetry... |

This is a nice depiction of the long and winding road.... Book bound I am sure! Especially if my vote helps.  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |

Travis you have really captured it! I think you've written it exceptionally well! It is a long, dark road. I'm glad you have the strength to make it through. I've traveled that road, and the last time didn't think I'd make it out. |

I like the positive side of the dark you have presented here. The terrible trip into the depths of depression but with the confidence that you have beat it before and can do the same again. This is skillfully written and I enjoyed it immensely...you've got my vote.. |
