Grim Occurrence
Shadows dance upon the wall
I wish I could dance with them
But they throw darkness at the wall
And bring the devil with them
He breaks the chains to get to me
But I’m too blind to see him
There is so much he can do to me
And I’m too weak to stop him
Help me father I need you now
The lights are fading and times run out
My eyes can’t see, where are you now
Oh it’s too late my life’s run out.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
