Darkness lingers all around
It’s like it envelops me…
Where will I be found?
Something strikes me by surprise
A sound, a smell, a shock…
Will this be the end, my utter demise?
I’m scared, I cry out for help, but no-one hears
If I stay here, am I doomed, like they thought…
Is this the realization of my fears?
Lost eyesight, I’m on your side
I think to myself, this is it, I give in…
Look on the bright side, suicide…
This poem was written for dVerse’s Poetics. The prompt is to pick a line (or more than one, as I did) from a song by Nirvana. I remember only the very popular songs by that band, and only vaguely, but I loved the opportunity to write an angsty poem.
