OK, I am really angry about this because I wrote what I considered to be a really good piece last night. Then my evil computer ate it and wouldn't cough it back up. So as a result this is a shabby duplicate.  

Enter in a dark hallway,
Take a look around.
Exhibitions of your pain,
Etched upon the walls.
Frail attempts to cover up,
Maddening aspects of time.
Consumation of your hope,
Acute twinge in your heart.

Manipulation laced with insanity,
Stupefy passing motions.
Corruption by a thought long gone,
Locked away in a sea of infernal rage.
Bottomless pity,
Herded by feelings of guilt.
Blackness stains the coloured existence,
Disrupting the dejected life.

Navigation of a tide turned bad,
Whisper daunting fears.
Rational beliefs loosten their grip,
Fading from the touch of light.
Loneliness surrounds the soul,
Prying sanity from its home.
Creating borders of unbreakable boundaries,
The Horrors locked in the mind.

definitely isn't shabby at all....and I have had this happen many times when there is a power surge and for some reason I never recall my words when first typed so I am learning (not always doing) but that after each line save the words in notepad  and then at least you have what was written before  the "lights went out"..I enjoyed your words..

  My goodness gracious. I read this very very slowly, and I could see all the word pictures you painted of the mind. It was an incredible piece that I thoroughly enjoyed, good till the last drop and a bonus of a thoughtful aftertaste...

As always, I am amazed by your work.  This poem is greatly expressive, and as Child of the Stars mentioned, is very descriptive.  Well done, i really enjoyed reading it, even though it wasn't the original!

Wonderful post here. I liked this one a lot. Flows nicely and the wording is stupendous.

People: Thanks for the replies everyone. I am glad that you all enjoyed it. This would have to be the first one in ages that actually hits close to home for me as someone I know is suffering very badly due to their mind.

Once again thanks.

Very good job of writing this one so well   I usually write with a pen on paper, so i don't really have the computer problems with poetry.  It's only the school work that never gets saved.

I guess Carly already said it all
The style it was written in I can also relate to
Now, how do you expect me to say something now that Carly has said such praise
