Cold Dark Corner

There's a cold dark corner
in the back of my room,
it speaks to me
and says I'm coming for you.

As I lie on my bed
in the fetal position,
my eyes are closed
hoping and wishing.

Maybe that one day
my dreams will come true,
that I don't have to be here
so down and blue.

The corner keeps talking
about how I'm going to die,
all I can do
is lie there and cry.

As the corner gets closer
and takes me in,
my soul starts to burn
as so does my skin.

My bones shall lie there
turning to dust,
my bed surrounding
nothing but rust.

Thank you so much for sharing. It's so good to hear that I am not alone. I was crying out loud by reading your poem. I wish you all the best and give you a warm hug from that other corner, filled with light and love...it's there for us, I am sure.

I have a dark corner in my room too. Sometimes the words are a little too convincing.

Times can definitely be tough for us. Find a way to express yourself away from yourself. This way that you don't personally absorb any negativity. I hope you have found the light!

Thank you for that. I have not written any poetry in quite some time. This was a hard time in my life, and writing helped me out of that. I have several others that I will be submitting. I hope that you enjoy them as well.

I've been suffering from depression and trying to find a way to express my feelings through art. When I do, I do so by painting, drawing, writing stories, and even dancing to try an make myself happy, also listening to positive music. Even when I jam to Love Myself or Confident even Walking On Sunshine I still go back to crying in the dark. These poems I read are proof that other people feel the same way and I'm not weird.

This poem was extremely disturbing but like most poems that I have read and that I like...it's very good and you are very talented. And don't take this the wrong way but you need to get some help if you have not already.

Writing poetry was the best help I could have done. Thanks for the concerns!
