On My Own
Lonely in the dead of night,
Painful memories I begin to fight,
Shadows forming on the wall,
One shadow I fear most of all.
The shadow is a haunting sight,
My heart is racing and I long for light.
Engulfing me in his warped evil way,
‘Come play with me’, I hear him say.
His touch is cold, his hands are rough,
His eyes are filled with evil lust,
By strength and by force, he pins me down,
‘Do not breath, do not make a sound!’.
Paralyzed by fear I close my eyes,
I silently scream and silently cry.
I pray to the gods,
‘Please let me die or give me wings, so I
can fly!’.
As time goes by, my life goes on,
Still wondering what I did wrong.
No-one to turn to, no-one is home,
I travelled this journey all on my own.
It’s lonely in the dead of night,
Painful memories I still try and fight,
The shadow still forms on the wall,
And one I still fear, most of all.

Gees, Maria, I got goosebumps reading this! I can totally picture the darkness and fear.
You’ve done a great job eliciting a response with this poem, for sure.
Now, go turn on the light and put some soft music (or the TV) on, so you aren’t so alone and in the dark.
Take care,
Karen

Thanks Karen, this is actually a poem from last year and I can honestly say I have moved on quite a bit since then. It took me a while to decide weather to post it or not, but I think it reflects how much things have changed since then, mostly for the better and working on the rest.
quite chilling really
time for your early spring clean
Feck the shadows they sunshine dissolves them and I know you are moving into the light now

It’s a sort of laying ghosts to pass now, time to move on and start a whole new chapter filled with things I’ve always wanted to do and places to see, things to achieve and just be me.
