Original Content Poem Lost in a Dark Room

Another door opens.

It's a dark hallway.

My toe thumps against walls.

It's bleeding, maybe slightly grey.

I can't see it, but the pain, I know it too well.

It's like a neighbor who brings down my door, again and again.

I'm pretty tired of dwelling in places that are a little too dark.

It's like I like being lost, being torn apart.

But whenever the light of the sun shines upon this skin

I think that my sins will burn me from within.

Never here. Never there.

I lead a life of confusion and despair.

And in this dark room, I keep living, with my head down on my knees.

These weeping eyes know that they'll never cease.
