Where Will They Find You Poem by Ella Rose

Where Will They Find You

Rating: 4.3


Shadows of clattering glass fallen deep below the surface,
schrieks of yesterday's magnets longing for redemption,
caves of internal shards of regret, I can't handle the curses,
the black crow cries out that it was never his intention.

Underneath I hide...writing books upon books of verses,
I crawl and dig for someone up there to pay attention,
falling further into the cave, I'm filthy and skirmish,
I should've seen the days ahead full of vile tension.

Left forsaken and forlorn there's no way to resurface,
why I stay and live down here I have no comprehension,
fire from my eyes, smoke from my internal furnace,
my contaminated dungeon with six by six dimension.

I can't imagine a life without frightening disturbance,
my dwelling exists in a location beneath life's ascension,
search all you want but we won't find a steady concurrence,
I've learned my harsh lifestyle promotes instant retention.

Great poem Ella. You have used very effective images and language for this age old problem. This internal dungeon full of fear and dangerous apprehensions. How to get out of it is a challenge we are constantly faced with. Your last stanza identifies even the reason for the problem making it a little personal but some thing that many can identify with. Excellent poem! Congratulations for being a member poem.
