    the me inside of me

    i search my soul to find a way
    to make through the day to day
    what i find inside of me
    are things that i dont want to see
    i wish that i could find a way
    to make through the day today
    without the flow of tears and pain
    that transforms to firey rage


    i remember when i use be
    more in control of me
    the things i find as time goes by
    is my other side gets lost inside
    the person i want the world to see
    gets supressed by pain and misery
    inside of me the me that's real
    gets overwhelmed by what i feel


    i try to push and fight the dark
    and let some light into my heart
    but what i find when i try to fight
    the dark inside devours the light
    i cannot stop the endless flow
    it seems that pain is all i know
    there once was strength inside of me
    when i was who i use to be
    but this me i have now become
    cannot repair the damage done
    in this broke and weakend state
    i lack the conviction and the strength
    to fight the dark and misery
    and the pain inside of me


    if i could search and find a way
    to make it through the day today
    then maybe i could find the strength
    to stop the flow of tears and pain


    if i could let the light shine in
    maybe i could see again
    then i could let the world see
    the person i am supossed to be
    but as it is the dreaded dark
    is casting shadows across my heart
    absorbing all the strength from me
    that my heart so dearly needs
    and where im left is where i am
    a broken, weak and damaged man

    This has such dark eloquence... The whole thing is great, but for me the 3rd stanza really hits home... So, beautifully insightful. ~☮

    Dano is an inspirational artist. I love the way he has a very descriptive (pictured) language in all of his writings. It allows the person reading it; myself, to enter his world ...imagine ...wonder ...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
