I dread this place, so deep & dark A soul destroying, dangerous place A cavernous place that holds my fears and secrets Sometimes hidden, sometimes not Always lurking, beckoning, taunting Ready to awaken the terror Erupting into my consieusnous A place I cannot escape Purgatory, a living hell My memories...... God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

It's enough to make you wish you had amnesia, isn't it? I've had memories that I could do without. They helped form me though, and because I knew I could not keep dealing with them - in different forms, but still ultimately the same patterns from before - I went out and got new ones. Good poem. Keep writing! |

~Eagle One,...I too have a place like that. In which I fight everyday to keep a distance from,..it's difficult for me at times. I'm sure you understand,...your descriptions are so exact. Thank you for another great poem. *Peace. |

God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Do you know who said. "Don't take my pain it makes me who I am" Captian Kirk, to Spock. Yes it is a daily battle this place you speak of. many here know it well. good work kid. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

I have definitely been there. It's a truly dark night of the soul, but somehow, it has its place in the universe. Light can't exist without darkness. Some light *lives* for the darkness. |

Oh I definitely agree, Eagle One, the light is much more preferable. Only in darkness can you see the stars... but I agree with your sentiment, and after all, the stars are what we look for. |

Joel: I've always been waiting for someone to use that quote! It actually goes more like: "I don't want my pain taken away, I need my pain!" And also, "They're[painful experiences] the things we carry around with us, they're the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves!" Sorry, I just couldn't resist correcting you, I'm a devout trekkie, lol. The emotions in the poem and the wording, sound exactly like how I've felt. Especially with regards to guilt. I think this was a big theme in the romantic era. I'm in a highschool english literature class. If I am incorrect in saying that about the romantic era, please correct me, though. I am known to fill in the gaps in things I am talking about, with assumptions, and thus dig myself deeper into the above-mentioned cavernous place. I believe I will shut up for now... |

I dread my purgatory as well. An amazing poem you have written. It describes in so few words what I cannot do in all of my poems combined. Such expression denotes a truely great writer. Jeffrey |

I think there are many times in any persons life when he or she feels this way. but for me the sad thing is i live within that evil and dark place. the only way out for me is through my own reality. Jeremiah Johnson A/K/A lordhavocsoul |
