Anger, frustration, no release.
Run down to the bones,
Fighting for a sign of hope;
When suddenly a glimmer of light provides me forsight.
My future could be bright.
... But this cloud emits giant shadows over my vision;
Blinding me from the beam of salvation.
Wishing only to be in its arms!
But instead I am pulled further into damnation.

this is a very good poem. I like how it's so mysterious, and can relate to just about anything! I love your transition from the darkness to the what-could-be, it is very subtle. Great job!
