My days are dark and dreary
The nights calm not my soul
Anxious thoughts keep swirling about
As I sink down this black hole
The never-ending restlessness
Consumes me all the time
Engulfing me completely

Thanks for dipping your toes in here, Earth Angel. I enjoyed the humbleness of this fall-apart.

Yeah I also love its sentiment and the ending too was good.

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

Thank you all for your comments on this poem. I decided to venture forth and post here in Dark Poetry. This is the perfect forum for my "Shadow Self" writing. And Mike, your insightful comments were very much appreciated.     Linda
