Here is a poem I wrote

Some may think I have never been down in the deep, dark pit of despair but I have been there more than once.  So, about a year ago I wrote this poem.  I have many dark poems and some dark songs I wrote, chorded, played and sung.  I have been there. On the road of fear Darkness, only darkness Fully frightened All alone I was They looked me over My family did With eyes cast down They turned away Leaving me gripped by some ugly thing I pushed and pulled to free myself Still I remained Where I was The thieves appeared taking all I had Nothing left for meMy life all gone Stealing my world away Blackness turned blacker The ground below me became as mush pulling me down locking me in Unable to move Unable to see I wished for death to visit me Trapped in sorrow existing in chains This mind all dim, yet flickering thoughts of mercy and love Fleeting and quickjust small dreams The very ones who, as me reached out their hands to offer help who, as me left stranded in the muck Together we found our way out of the night to the welcoming light. ~~Sherry '08
