I made it to another dawn
though I was too tired to go on
desolate and dark of heart I cry
shackles bind me not to fly
tightened bands upon this soul
lead me further from my goal
quench it not with bitter tear
let me dwell in deepest fear
loose me not and let me free
I'll be who you want of me
knot upon knot, tighter still
bend me, break me to your will
one look back, one farewell
as I slip slowly into hell

Well let me be the first to welcome you to hell, Angel.  Been her quite awhile myself.  Don't worry, you never get used to it.  You never stop looking back either...  kinda strange, I think hell is merely our own creation at times.

I agree with Michael-sometimes we do create our own hell. Maybe once we are able to stop looking back things would be better.

X Angel, whether self induced or pushed into it, hell is hell on all, visit me in room 667 sometime!!! great work  

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

I've woke many nights like this, thinking God I made a nother one.
A lot of power in this poem.
Joel.

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

Geesh..I wouldn't expect to see your name here, but I guess you get in this kind of mood too.   Painful poem here. I liked it, but wish it wasn't so negative. LOL! I don't know why I'm saying that since I know what forum I came into. I kind of asked for it right?  

 Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau"
