The pain of loneliness (Poem)

Poem about depression and loneliness . I can slay the day, But the night  Rules over me with an iron fist, It sets me down, It tells me everything that I long to forget, Lies. Secrets. Fears, It makes me listen, Still as the tomb, It makes me remember, Naked truth! It makes me surrender, Powerless. Wretched. Afraid. I'm like a ship broken up and lost at sea, A caged bird longing to be set free, A prisoner of the dark, I don't want to be alone, The night is  cruel,  It tortures me. © 2022 All Rights Reserved.
