This Darkness has taken over me
I feel lost; I feel this pain
I am alone, I cry in vain
It is too heavy, I cannot bear
These memories, this hurt, is always there
The shame I feel; I hang my head
There are times I wish I were dead
Is there someone here; Listen to me
Can anyone help? How can this be
I am all alone and it is dark
The hurt, the abuse has left it’s mark
I am drained, cause against this night
It is so very hard to fight.
Someone tell me this cannot be true
All of the things they put me through
I cry until I can cry no more
Then I cry again, just like before
Wait what is this..somone heard?
Someone understands these horrible words?
What are they doing safely holding me?
They tell me this will not always be
They tell me now that it is night
And the things that were done were not right
A Survivor friend is drawing near
Somehow with them, there is less fear
All of my strength is almost gone
The Darkest hour is just before dawn
Just before the sun starts to rise
It is darkest because of their lies
But the light will come, this I know
It’s dark now, but the light will show
The Darkness now slowly leaving me
The Warm Sunlight now I start to see
I am now facing this long, hard fight
It’s darkest here just before it gets light.
I will not give up, I will go on
The Darkest Hour
is Just Before Dawn
A survivor friend is quite near,
ReplyDeleteIn fact I am sitting right here.
I share your pain and you are not alone,
On your journey to undo the damage that was done.
Do not give up and please go on,
Your brightest hour is yet to come!
Really like your poems. They speak of how you felt during your times of sadness and hopelessness. Thank you for sharing your most intimate feelings.
