Shadows

Spoiler

This is a short poem, just something I came up with the other day.

In the deathly silence of the night,
Shadows creep out
From the closet of the darkest memories.

Drenched in sweat I lay,
Surrounded by the shadows
The cruel reminder of past life.

The shadows torture, suffocate me
Make me see the truth
I shall never be free.

I love this poem. It is a unique reflection of the stillness in life. Keep it up.

In the deathly silence of the night,
Shadows creep out
From the closet of the darkest memories.

Drenched in sweat I lay,
Surrounded by the shadows
The cruel reminder of past life.

The shadows torture, suffocate me
Make me see the truth
I shall never be free.

This poem has a really strong and true message to it and does give a brief account of life's unforgiving nature. The past is something we can never undo or hide under the mat. For me the first two stanzas gave a really good description about the persona's anguish.

Great work writing this and I'm looking forward to reading more. Keep the ink flowing!

I shall never be free.

Oh, wow. Love how this ends. Even though it's a depressing ending, I still like it. Great job.

Keep writing!
