Lost in a world without colour it all turns to blur
Trying will fail and failing will pain
When words can’t spark the mind flicks
The breathing loosens as the clock ticks
The eyes bleed in pain
As the whip cracks down
Falls on the burden of the soul
No affection is found
The mind won’t link so temper will blink
Breathing is struggle but learning is more
Movement is forced can’t loosen the pull
Imprisoned in terror black eyes like a doll
They squirm in place as the beast strikes
All pain is covered up struggle won’t show
Don’t anger the dark for the black will grow
Only souls left no bodies remain
All covered in strings pulled as a game
The reflection of fear just can’t restrain
All will continue the bulb has lit
The halo of darkness cries tears in the mist
Only to fall of lingering faith
All because of the one
red soul no face
When approached all will stare
At the white eyes imprisoned glare
Please give a detailed explanation about the meaning and main idea of this poem.:
This poem is my personal struggle between humanity, myself ,and depression . The only thing that would make me happy was sharing my misery with the world. One day I found that I was able to write my thoughts on paper without boldly declaring my thoughts but more softly suggesting the crazy emotions going through my head. I loved that I was mysteriously capturing every aspect of the torment i was going through and at the same time clearing my head of my burning thoughts. Although I know little about poetry I hope that at least one person will appreciate my work and determination. Although I want most of this poem to be a secret I will share a little bit. This poem talks about the three stages of how negativity possessed me. The first is where you feel nothing is right and everything is collapsing. The second is where you are so possessed you feel that the demon is controlling your every move. You watch as you hurt people you love even though you have no control. For the third I would like to leave a secret for you to figure out by yourself.
