when darkness fills my day...

Pain

The anguish I feel
tears at my soul
Life at times
is so cripplingly bad
there is hatred everywhere
cruel lives attack those
who live for the joy
of simply living.
their lives are destroyed
in a blink of time
with acts of such horror
and unthoughtful malice
that to think of them
makes the stoutest heart shudder
and the strongest man cry
A life so awful
cannot be born alone
in solitude
with only thoughts
to pass the time
it must be shared
or worse will follow
as slowly,
remorselessly
days become darker
nights become longer
more oppressive
heavy on the mind
weighing down on hope
suppressing it
crushing it
until it dies
and when that happens
life dies too
