Escape

Iridescent light,
The full moon's call,
Attracting my weakness,
Overpowering the fight.

Beckoning from my window,
Pulling at my bones,
Asking me to join
To leave this nothingness behind,

To the ledge I run,
Unable to resist,
Breaking through the glass,
So much not to miss.

On blackened wings I fly,
Utterly alone
To where broken spirits die
Free of eternal strife

Such desolate...

and lonely thoughts! Felt the pain and the helplessness. Not sure that sub-consciously is the right word there. A bit cliché perhaps, but maybe [utterly] alone? ~ Gee.

Thank you Gee

I was a little uncertain about subconsciously as well, figured a fresh set of eyes may be able to help. I will change it to utterly and see what it does.

you don't want to go there

"This nothingness" will pass. I sense so much the suffering you are going through in this poem, and you are calling out. Create a new universe with your poetry, you have the skills. You will find others, like me, to share it with.

Writing serves as a catharsis for me...over my years on and off of Neo I have learned to tone it Down a little and work on form and flow. Still working at it. I went thru today and redid my profile a bit, unpublished some pretty rough writings. I will be on more now.
