Shadows, night.....comfort is here 
Instead of the harsh light of morning. 
Shadows, night....you'll find me there 
Heedless to the warnings 
I watch the life flow from me 
My soul seems on fire 
Those winds of change surround me 
No one knows what I desire 
End of daylight, end of pain 
end of unhappiness 
the story of the slain. 
I know your harshness 
and your reality of lies. 
I see my friendships 
and those who watch as the ember dies. 
My heart is still left 
but yearns to be free 
save yourselves 
Please, don't wait for me 
It is the Armaggeddon 
The day all deeds are done 
and with your leave, take my love 
the endless journey has begun

I empathize with the pain you expressed so well in your poem. Thank you for sharing that. So many of us are affected by things that we could not stop or change. All we can do is link arms, and stand strong together. Wishing you every blessing.
I'm sorry you are feeling so down. PLEASE promise you won't act on feelings of desperation. YOu are most certainly not alone. x
Thank you for the kindness and warmth. Today is just a very black day. Tomorrow is another new beginning.
This is quite simply splendid and beautiful and central to my understanding of life as a fellow survivor. We know beauty where others see only desparation. We know desparation where others find beauty. Thank you for your wonderful poetry. I refer you to Goodbye Now My brother which youll find if you scroll down some way down on: http://johndwmacdonald.wordpress.com Blessings! John Warrior Poet - Also wounded!
