      July 29, 2023Darkness of the MindVy Hong

      She lies in the darkness
      Thinking of what used to be
      Suffering is part of life
      No one told her it would be this hard
      Thinking of what used to be
      She cries alone in her room
      No one told her it would be this hard
      Her mind is a prison cell she’s stuck in
      She cries alone in her room
      Remembering the moment
      Her mind is a prison cell she’s stuck in
      There’s no one to help her
      Remembering the moment
      Opens the wounds of his words
      There’s no one to help her
      She slips and falls off the edge of sanity
      Opening the wounds of his words
      She sits at the bottom
      She slips and falls off the edge of sanity
      Her mouth is silent as her mind races
      She sits at the bottom
      Thinking of the scars he left
      Her mouth is silent as her mind races
      Deep cuts let her heart bleed out
      Thinking of the scars he left
      How suffering is part of life
      The night closes in and clouds block the stars
      She lies in the darkness

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “While I don’t often write poetry, I find that it is a good way for me to become inspired to write. Writing poetry allows me to get into a headspace to sit down and write, which is most of the time the hardest part. Some sort of accomplished feeling comes from creating anything you’re proud of and poetry often helps me stay motivated to continue writing and continue feeling accomplished and proud of myself.”
