 I have many faces Excited and can't wait to explore Content to just sit and be Fearful the darkness will return Depressed, the darkness transcends Numb, unable to feel anything. That is the worst Unable to feel joy, pain Darkness, light Contented Nothing matters I don't matter. Lost in the darkness Wandering, wondering Hoping, wishing Waiting for the sun to Break through The clouds. A crack, A small sliver of light Breaks through the darkness Offering hope Warmth A chance to matter again. |
Sorry I copied this from my website, not Word. Please ignore the other parts.
ReplyDeleteI really like the format of the dark background with the picture. It adds a visual component to this poem that matches theme. There is such powerful language here. This stanza is strong, and its conclusion heartbreaking:
ReplyDelete"That is the worst
Unable to feel joy, pain
Darkness, light
Contented
Nothing matters
The dark imagery and the crack through which there is a light, and warmth and hope are a good vehicle to use to work up to the line "A chance to matter again." Even though the narrator of this poem does undoubtedly matter, that he or she doesn't believe so is what is driving this poem. For me I'm glad to see the turn at the end again toward hope, something to which we can all relate. This is wonderful. Thank you.
