Closing my eyes to the world Trying the ponder a lowly question Within my depths of my mind lies a dark and terrible thing a voice, only a faint whisper in the wind but yet like rolling thunder echoing in my mind dark and hateful words, full of venom “Coward, loser, no one can love you! You can’t do anything right!” causing such chaos in my life the fear the voice brings to my heart I become frozen solid, hesitation for every choice So, I can only watch as many an opportunity for money, for happiness, for love pass me by, like a stranger in the night the voice becomes dormant once in a while and in those moments, I feel happiness once more but now the voice has returned once again on its mission of torment to destroy every inch of my being my heart, my soul, torn asunder what must I do to silence it for all time to finally find inner peace and to bring this nightmare to an end Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death. |

LonelyShadow~ 'a voice, only a faint whisper in the wind but yet like rolling thunder echoing in my mind' This piece is poignantly riveting~ Some are 'driven' by 'the voice' ... You have described it very clearly~ 'what must I do to silence it for all time to finally find inner peace and to bring this nightmare to an end' I don't know if your poetic question is rhetorical or not ..... and while I don't have an 'answer' .... that which I refer to as 'calling them out' is the only resolution that comes to mind. Often when confronted ... the 'voices' retreat ... never to be heard thunderously assaulting our self-esteem again~ Thank you for the read~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Lonely Shadow, When the protaganist of this poem stops watching opportunities and *takes* them ... Then he'll have better, wiser things to write about. Thank you for posting here. Dark always needs writers.  Mike |
