Darkness Poem by Natasha Smeltser

Darkness



My life is but a black hole
Very dark
Yet I keep getting sucked into it

Into the darkness I hate

I scream for someone to hear
But no one listens
No one hears

And I need out

I need out of the pain
I need out of the depression
I need out of the sadness

For that is all that darkness is

And that is my life
My dark hole
No walls
No stairs

To get out

But listen
I hear someone
Someone hears me
He's coming closer

But I won't let him come
I only want to help myself
I changed my mind

I don't need anyone

But he keeps coming
He's trying to get to me
Who could this be
Who loves me so much

To keep coming

Even though I shove him away
I need to let him come to me
I need so bad for him to help me

But my heart is not right

Something in me needs to change
This black hole is not my life
This black hole is my heart
And this strange man is Jesus

Over these past months I have shoved him away
Thinking I could do it myself
Thinking I don't need his help
I don't need anybody

But I do

My calling has died down
I have found a way out
The only way out
Jesus

Also wanted to say I really like the message conveyed in this poem. I have a couple with good Christian messages as well: 'Inspiration from my Prayers' and 'Unstoppable' Enjoy

That's pretty awesome, after all, not all good poetry has to rhyme.
