Found Poetry

This is no world for escapists.
The only way to live is to be brave,
To hold blame and shame,
And imprison your dark memories
As they eat away at you,
Pounding on your soul and destroying reason.
You must stay where you are
Until darkness descends like wolves
Demanding your soul
And threatening to destroy you.
Hold your ground.
There is light on the horizon.

this is really deep. i enjoyed it a lot. the whole beginning is the truth. you really can't hide anything it'll eventually come out so might as well be brave and face it.
thanks for writing this.

I like how it's somewhat negative at first then finishes with the two way good lines of "hold your ground" and "there is light on the horizon."
