Scared and alone.
I cry out,
But the night
Swallows me
From within.
It is stronger
Than me.
I become
One with it.
Accepting the night
Frees me
To look at my soul.
Please discuss.

About Me
- Caterina
- I've always been an avid reader and writer. As a child, it was a joyous escape for me, now it is more than ever. There is so much freedom in being able to write down my thoughts and experinces to help or give pleasure to others. Recently, I've started taking photos to try to capture the beauty surrounding me.

It is difficult to be this honest. Gutsy stuff. I LOVE the last verse. It defies the first two by saying the narrator is in fact stronger than she thought--because she has embraced the night--and that has freed her soul. That makes all the difference. This poem is packed. Linda
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think this is about accepting things you can't change so they don't feel so bad in the night.
