Why dark poems I don’t write
Though I too pass through darkness
Have my share of thunderous night
Fighting depression’s embrace!
I think of ways to swallow them down
Shove them out of my sight
Blow it away my grimmest frown
Light the dark in candlelight!
It’s not smooth job wishing them away
The shadows too powerful to yield
That always love to have their way
Thrive in dreams unfulfilled!
They tempt me to give them a chance
Succumb to their alluring might
I know if I submit to them for once
They would be all over my write!

Why dark poems I don’t write

Have my share of thunderous night
Fighting depression’s embrace!
I think of ways to swallow them down
Shove them out of my sight
Blow it away my grimmest frown
Light the dark in candlelight!
It’s not smooth job wishing them away
The shadows too powerful to yield
That always love to have their way
Thrive in dreams unfulfilled!
They tempt me to give them a chance
Succumb to their alluring might
I know if I submit to them for once
They would be all over my write!
