On the edge of despair
Opportunities I missed
Darkness looming slow
The horizon seems afar
I look back and I see
Life of many expectations
Unfulfilled dreams
Chained to pain and desire
Smiles of friends leaving me
Broken hearts bleeding
Piercing me with staring eyes
Despair, gloom clouding so
I am trapped, nowhere to go
As I look ahead, in chains
I can see no hope, no future
As from this moment onward
I travel into the unknown
The deep dark abyss of night

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
