My Darkness Within

I have avoided my blog for a while. I recently turned 26 and I felt really depressed. Didn't want to just write rubbish on here. I'm going through a funny phase right now and I keep trying to put my feelings into words. This entry is a poem. I'm no much of a poet, but I tried my best to explain how I feel. Read and let me know what you think.



I’m a ray of light that shines so bright
I dazzle like the stars and my warmth is like the sun
My character is so wild; it’s like the colours of the rainbow
My anger is as fiery as the red lava of a volcano
My excitement is like a ripe orange
My happiness is as bright as yellow custard
My mothering nature is as green as the earth
My sadness is as blue as the pacific
My humour is as weird as the colour indigo
My sarcasm is as cool as violets flowing in the breeze

Yes I am light and this light is bright
But this light is covered by darkness within
The abyss of the hollowness I feel
The dimness of my self esteem
The emptiness within me that I always try to fill
There’s an intimacy that I crave
I try to use my rainbow personality to fill it
But people get overwhelmed by the colours and their variety
I try to fill it by giving my body
But I always lose a part of my soul along with it
My soul has been fragmented into little pieces
These pieces are fused within vessels, men
They don’t even know they have a part of me

They say light overcomes the dark
But this darkness is so powerful
I’m waiting for my rainbow
But the storm is still raging
When will I get that pot of gold?
When will I smile again?
A real smile, from within
A smile that radiates with light again
For now, I just sit and think
I want to cry, but darkness has no tears
So I smile, a funny little smile
And lie to myself and say
This is just a phase, I will be fine in the morning
