Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler

-Benjamin Franklin
If you're absent during my struggle. Don't expect to be present during my success.


Darkness immerses me
like a giant ocean wave.
Darkness besieges me,
no candle to keep a flame.
Fear building inside me
I don't know where to turn.
In this dark life
with nothing else to yearn.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

If you just turn enough, you will find there is someone to turn to (who has been with you the whole time) and whom you can yearn. Wonderful job again! Thanks for sharing this!

The rhyming and flow of your poem is awesome. I would have extended the seventh line to match the others, but that's just me. Nice work! 5/5
