wallow in the pain
revel in it
with the excitement
of a child

open your eyes
and let it blind you
fill your lungs
with searing breath

now join with the lost
falling
swallowed by the beast
that waits for us all

Vividly Dark Jonas.  I wonder which beast though.

Hey there,..I'm new here, to this, but I just wanted to say that your poem really struck me.  Lately I have been on this thing where I have been forcing myself to FEEL what I am feeling.  As opposed to trying not to.  I find that when I do this I feel like I am really living. Even if what I'm going through sucks I know that feeling the burn is life and to live it I must feel it.  Ok, maybe this has gotten to deep, but your poem related to something I am working on and reminded me of it.  That's all...I liked it.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

this was heartfelt. I have wallowed in it and never given in though. I keep running from the beast, it was harder to run from it as a child, my legs were shorter! Come to think of it they are still short at 5-3....
this one made me think
