Have You Been There?

RipDiction
Have you been there?
Have you been inside the darkness?
In the darkness you cannot see.
It is hard to understand what is not seen.
Ahhh,so you have been there, hmmmm.
Have you tasted the plague of loneliness?
Have you bit the apple of deceit? Have you walked the plank?
Fallen in defeat? In the darkness things roam unseen.
Have you been there?
Have you rode the wind minds eye in awe?
Have you felt desolate? Gray? Useless?
Has realization made the darkness constant?
In the dark depression pessimism rules.
Have you been there?
Inside the foreboding walls of chaos?
Loathing the new dawn...hell's new day.
Have you been there?
Eye's bugging out in pain or panic... Tears sliding...
careening car into a tree... ...blackness,an abyss,darkness.
HAVE YOU BEEN THERE?
Have you seen the light at the end of the tracks?
Have you seen the door open...a headlights beam.
Vomit in your throat no time to scream!!
Have you been inside the darkness?
HAVE YOU?

    Has realization made the darkness constant?-interesting line! This is also a very interesting poem. I find the darkness to be liberating. Loneliness, is not my curse, but I accept it for the time being. :D Write more!
