Sinking swiftly The beauty of the World vanishes The cold ice around my heart thickens My thoughts turn against me I settle in for the storm Crying softly I surrender to the dark demons The pitiless memories purge my mind And a scream escapes me I am now physically spent Shuddering violently The dark cloak surrounds me "Will I live through this?" I question myself as I lay back Hoping it is all over now Rocking methodically I try to regain my sanity Hoping I did not lose something important Something that holds me apart The something I need to be me Scrambling wildly I search for this quality within me To pull apart the memories Push back these ugly demons To find the beauty within Reckognizing suddenly I cannot remember a time Not a single instance I was free From this darkness plaguing me Have they won me? "...This is how you remind me of what I really am, this is how you remind me..." --Nickleback |

Thank you Trillium! Truth in your words as well...  ~~Jamie "...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." --Robert Frost |

The title grabbed me,, and I am glad it did.. a sad song it is that you sing-- but joy can and will return-- well done Jamie-- *jamie* There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Only we know the verses to 'our songs', dark and fey look at one who is strong and doesn't give in. -wordancer |

Hmmmmmmm....dark.....but compelling....I like it Jamie Sol " The question shouldn't be...'Why are we here?' but rather 'ARE we here? " |

2dalimit: Thank you for reading and thanks for your concern. I am okay...this one was written a while ago in my dark times...but I'm a little above that now! Jamie: Well, I'm glad that you took the time to read this! True, this is only a small space in time and things do get better. A good friend of mine used to say, "Sometimes it's not what you do, but how you view it..." Maybe I just needed to change the filter!wordancer: Truth in your words...thanks for reading!  Sol: Hey...thanks. You know me, I'm just full of surprises! hehehe "...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." --Robert Frost |

Pegasus: Yup...full of surprises. Most of the time I surprise myself! No worries though...'member we poets can always switch the filter we see life through, if we want to badly enough!  Thanks for getting through this one! ~~Jamie  "...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." --Robert Frost |
