Darkness

zhangyuyouyu

 

Lights out 

There’s no electricity 

Cheery laughters soften gradually 

Back to darkness 

 

Falling of an endless cliff 

The path of meeting a close friend

And tangled vines 

Help me.

Caught on yet let go

Leave me alone.

 

Finally waves wash over

Save me. 

Trying to gulp for help

A hand reached out

Back off. Do not come.

Held on yet let go

 

As water gushes into a familiar room filled with vines 

Trapped in an endless cycle

Falling and drowning 

With the doors locked and windows closed

Waiting for her to free me from this prison home someday...

  • Comment from author about the poem: Trying to pen down how is it like when I am suddenly sad. I get used to it but it still feels bad. Sometimes I talk to my friends to get out of it but sometimes I prefer to swallow in darkness by myself. It keeps on repeating and I wish to be able to prevent this when I can in the future. I would love some advice on the writing, thank you!

    If you find yourself in this state, she's not going to free you. You must free yourself. Your writing reflects your state of mind. You're young enjoy your youth. Write more and more and enjoy the moment.

      Thank you, I will try to do so. I was thinking she to be me but in another way she might also be the close friend - darkness..

        Always seek the light. Darkness is part of the human existence, however, it must not lead of to depression nor to catastrophe, rather, it should lift us up to see the light.

          I sure hope so 🙂
