the darkest hour.....

the one that rears it's ugly head
takes you by seize to lie in it's bed
and will not let go of your heart
killing you
alone
keeping you apart
apart from the freedom you seek
and holding you down
to the ground
to suffocate your soul
it is there to take it's toll
you will never break free
through the dark you will  not see
it screams it's ugly lies
until you want to die
lay down and retreat
accept defeat
let your head hang low
this is what it screams
I feel the darkest has come
to it I finally have succumb

Wow! Great poem!  Know the darkest hour... you've written it well!  I too wrote a poem once about succumbing to the darkness!    Take care.

This was a GREAT poem about the discouragement that any darkest hour can bring.  You've put some great images in this one.  Good job!

I hope you have only succumbed to the darkness for a little while!  You need to draw strength and courage to battle on, to fight another day.
Well written

Too deep for me to anaylize...all I can say this one is treasure to be kept.
