The Caved In Place Poem by Daniel Richards

I’ve been down so low, for so long now
I no longer know which way to climb
Desecration of my mind & sweat on my brow,
Never stumble onto that I need to find, but wow

Morning skies are as black as night
Nighttime skies an unavoidable abyss
Circling oceans and tormenting winds
Push and pull me to the devils kiss

I’ve seen it all before,
With no lighthouse to guide me ashore
I drown aimlessly,
I’ve been here many times before

No longer remember who I used to be
Trapped in wide open spaces compound
With the dark now becoming me
Where could the traces of then be found

I hide deeper, deeper in a far out place
I’m a cave of marvelous pain
A place where the sun never shines
Where its forever rains
In an endless silence of time.
