A fine write D.
I thought you was about to sneeze, and were holding your nose - if so, was \'dolour\' meant to have been \'colour\'?! lol.
I can\'t say certain words if I hold by doze (my nose).
I talk some rot. lol.

And fell down a hole. Doh! lol.

A wonderfully written definition here Draven, on what it is to take risks.
The penultimate line in this poem is an important one, as you try in life to remain in control, something in the \"ether\" is wanting you to try something new, which can be adventurously refreshing!
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

A leap of Faith rather than just staring into the abyss simply embrace it and damn the consequence. Powerful penning

Yes darkness is always there and can be overwhelming but as you said we can be ready and face it with strength and awareness. Thank you

Like the gothic.
When you go back to the dark place twice, it\'s usually for revenge or your death.

A dark place - where one hears me sing, but can\'t see me, and thinks it\'s two cats fighting! heehee.

Paranoia screams thoughts we would rather leave buried and leave us unable to hide from ourselves. Love the depth and powerful emotional pull of this piece.

Feminine trauma, this poem makes me think of my all time favourite, Sylvia Plath, and so many women in troubled times. By the way I tried to send you a friend request, but I\'m not even sure how to. I see you\'re new and you\'ve been supportive of my writing, and likewise, you have a lot of poetic talent.

Wow you have captured the darkness of constant self-loathing so clearly Draven -- and with impressive imagery you highlight the resultant loneliness - - - clarion warnings indeed. Brilliant read.

(such a haunting read
thanks for sharing and inspiring
my own little scribbled reply)
when that oppressive helplessness overwhelms us
crawling, is nothing to be ashamed about
lay low, lay low my friend
just breath, short sharp relief
and hope it passes, sooner
that that nightmare, where it lingers
draped in a moonless bleak of night;
till we\'re wide awake - late
and brushing our teeth, while pinching our cheeks
trying to make sure, we\'ve made it
till the morning, after
and so we\'ve overcome, once again
rejoice, treat ourselves
to a sweet pastry or two
and a swig of our favourite
carb-happy drink,
simply celebrate, this
our Aurora\'s grace of survival
otherwise known
as another day: alive...!
