Darkest Hour

Darkest Hour.....

At my darkest hour, in calmness I dwell,
Listening to the wordings of my soul....
Yeah! a dialogue conversation between me, myself and I....
Dealing with that pressure that nobody knows..
But,
if truly the heart can unfold the passion of love..,
but each scars refuse to let go. A trademark of love.,..
Just need to flash myself a smile and fire up every emotions away from a mile.

Away from home that's where I found my peace
A place of tranquility...
A place to unmingle every signs of pressure that nobody knows
Speeding up every moment with a single smile..

A place to escape that nobody knows
Where I feel free to let things go
And face this evil that burdens my soul
I bring my hatred, I pack my pain, sorrow and anger
All the emotions I cannot explain
It's where I found God and filled that hole

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "Darkest Hour" delves into the introspective journey of finding peace and solace in the midst of personal struggles. The imagery of engaging in a dialogue with oneself and seeking refuge away from home is powerful and relatable. The contrast between inner turmoil and the search for tranquility is effectively portrayed through the use of emotive language and vivid descriptions.

One aspect to consider for further development is the consistency of the poem's tone and structure. While the poem flows smoothly overall, there are moments where the shift in focus from internal reflection to external description could be more seamless. Ensuring a cohesive narrative thread throughout the poem can enhance the reader's engagement and emotional resonance with the themes presented.

Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as metaphor, symbolism, or varied rhyme schemes could add depth and complexity to the poem's message. By experimenting with these elements, you may discover new ways to amplify the emotional impact of your words and create a more dynamic poetic experience for your audience.

Overall, "

Hello...

I think that I get where you are in the posting of this poem.
Religion is often the place where people find solace; they acquire a sense of peace in
the assumed knowledge that here is a benevolent deity that may intervene for them in difficult situations or times of strife. I'm not sure about the line that says: "Just need to flash myself a smile and fire up every emotions away from a mile." You need to pay a bit more attention to your punctuation and your train of thought, but pretty good for your first poem here. ~Geezer.

Darkest Hour

Hello, Poeticlines,
To face the darkest hour in a state of calm... such a noble goal. I can relate to "All the emotions I cannot explain." To hand over hate, pain, sorrow, and anger to a greater being is very freeing.
Thank you for this, and welcome to Neopoet!
