PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel restricted confined

I need  to leave, to go outside

To breathe the air to be inspired

To light inside me a tingling fire

To warm the cold and fill the space

That has become my chest.

To ease the aching weight that sits

Like a stone upon my breast.

The Hollow calls for the brightest spark

Energy to light the darkest dark

And to fulfil the emptiness that soaks my heart.

That weighs it down, a heavy strain

I need some light to burn the pain

To seal this wound that you have made

To make the Hollow ebb away

Something fantastic fiery and new

An excitement that makes my world stand askew

Something fresh to open my eyes to

Just give me a sign of where to find you.

Because that woman was right when she said what she said

How can you climb out of the dark in your head

When people and their torment forces you to crawl

Into the Hollow into the drawer.

To where you recluse from the dim light outside

From the knocks and the bashing it’s now where I hide

As I wait for something to change me inside

To the make the world have some brighter light

And you thought it was natural to start screaming at night

Taking pills to sleep, it’s not right.

And yet the tears have not ended they rain ever still

And there is no escape from this feeling until

The clouds have all passed and rest for a while

I can go on not thinking of the rawness they bring

I can forget for a moment the hurt and the sting

Of every new knock the world fucking brings

And wait for the moment for the sun to rise

When the Hollow is filled I can open my eyes

And not hide away or sit way inside

But come out from the attic and into the sky

Where I might find a light.

A star that is born in the depths of the night

And with it brings the fire I’ve needed for so long

All I’ve needed to just carry on.

Something so simple a small snatch of light

Something to fill the dark in the night

Something to ease this weight in my chest

To help me in all of my pain and distress

Someone to make things worth living for

Because I don’t want to be in the Hollow

Not anymore.
