I stood on the cliff,
Broken and in fear,
Demons of darkness,
Have driven me here.
Behind these eyes that carry a shine,
Lies a thousand words that can’t be described.
Behind this face that carries a smile,
Lies a dark road that goes on for miles and miles.
It’s like being surrounded by everyone and yet being lonely,
A burden on my shoulders that lies with me only.
It’s like a self hate I can’t explain,
I am walking in the dark, holding so much pain.
And so I live along, I play my part,
While this loneliness breaks my heart.
Again I stood on the cliff,
About to end the fight,
Then I stopped and thought,
I’ll fight them one more night.
I know this fight is big and my shoulders are thin,
But I believe firmly that I will win.

Wonderful. Love the strong sense of emotions that run through the entire poem.
Thank you
My pleasure!
Well said. The poetry needs to be tightened up to deliver the full impact. This one is worth setting aside for a while and coming back to with your editor’s pen in hand.
Thanks!
Nice. Same feeling.
