Meant To Be

By DarkDruidess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I feel the darkness starting to eat away At the core of my heart and soul Slowly and methodically nibbling At the tender morsel that is me Taking from me the sunshine and life That keeps me going and living I close my eyes and pray adamantly Please let this evil pass me by and leave me But I sense that I am all alone in my endeavor No one listening or taking heed of my plight The sharp and stinging nips cause insanity Making painful tears come to my eyes Doubting that I should even fight this Wondering if I should just let it overcome me Creating me into a new and different person One with no past hurts and pain filled history A person that consumes the darkness and all it entails No longer a lover of light and peace Get lost in all the despair and despondency Wallow in the blackness till it kills my heart Then I will at last be free and liberated With no love left in my dark and depraved heart Finally able to be the person I was meant to be Written April 3rd, 2002 © on Apr 03 2002 01:11 PM PST, Tami Ellis   0 • 1
