The Isles of Darkness

Updated: Jun 21

A personal poem written by Shelby-Liza Ndumbi

I close the door


I close my eyes; I don't see you anymore


All is gone, even my smile. It's faded


I'm not sure if I can hold on


The broken twists and turns catch me at every curve


I never realize how far behind I feel; I shouldn't be here


I shouldn't feel this way


I don't need a reminder on the past clouding my mind


I don't feel lost, but unhappy that such darkness is over me


Hovering. Floating. Scratching


It won't go away since it's part of me


It won't go away since it's in my head


It won't go away since you keep pushing me
