Dark Hope - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

Somewhere within my shattered soul
I feel at least one filled up hole
My sanity is trying to find that knoll
But it never will, so I've been told

My body aches from all this toil
I try to cool my brain which boils
My soul in stitches retraces and coils
While deep inside my mood just spoils

When can I try to heal once again
After this blackness fails to retain
How much more can this insanity gain
Before it leaves me completely insane

Roller coaster definitions explain
What I am burdened with today
I have had so much help at bay
There is absolutely no way to repay
