Life Poems

Breaking Down (Into the Darkness)

Breaking Down (Into the Darkness)
Long ago I built these fences around me, to protect my soul from the vagaries of life, to hide from the wretched world that we call home, to let me be myself;
I guess I got lost, somewhere along the way, because I stopped to fortify these fences, as I assumed I could never get hurt (after-all these years);
Now, as life slowly creeps and crawls its way into my system, I find myself stranded, I find myself weak, against an invisible force, I feel trapped, bound by the shackles of existence;
under a dark twilight, I slowly slip back into the darkness, that I once escaped from, that I once left behind;
with my fences (walls) down, I can no longer quell these monsters, that rage within me, as they try to take control of my senses;
I am just a kite dancing in this hurricane of life, struggling to hold on to what I have got, trying to navigate through this raging tempest of existence, while I descend into the darkness from within;

Very nice wording, amazingly written poem I must say, it is similar to those poems from a blog I read, thewritinghut.net , i think the poem name was “Reading it Well”.
