A Very Long Night. by llaykorn: 9:06pm On Dec 22, 2015
Night falls upon us once more
Casting its shroud of silent dread.
And when just living seems a chore
And you're wishing you were dead.

That there is nowhere left to turn
And you think of every promise made.
Of all the bridges you had to burn
The day dying as the light begins to fade.

Fear creeps slowly into your heart
Hidden in the dark corners deep inside.
Shown only by way of your art
Written into empty words in foolish pride.

But no matter what the story is still the same
The fable unchanged and the tale unbroken.
The fairy tale now forgotten in you're shame
And all the things that must never be spoken.

Thinking of all the smiles that you never shared
All the nights that so silently passed you by.
You felt lost and lonely in a world that never cared.
You were so brave and quiet and by nature shy.

But you hang onto a hope with faith in your wake
Even with the sorrow of all the things you left behind.
And of a strange journey you never meant to take
Through the wilderness looking for a home to find.

A dream to end all dreams something beautiful and new
Away from the same old stories you used to tell.
Strength forged in pain and all you've been through.
To come out smiling through the very fires of hell.

You just want to be happy and live a life worthwhile.
The dark and depression might seem like all you are.
But I have faith that you will one day find a smile.
And wherever you travel now I hope you travel far.

As usual, you never disappoint in dishing out great poems but I must confess this particular one is extraordinary maybe that's why I still don't get it well or have it understood.

Please help me with the theme.

[size=15pt]It's a very long night indeed
As I reflect on my past deeds
Long Nights filled with Sins
With a new year comes the Thrash Bin

G-Grandma finally went to Rest
Having fun now with the very best
My life has one loving person less
How cruel is Death?

My ink runs dry
Cue I feel the am abouta cry undecided

Yeah, I could always drop some bars
All I need is a new car
NOT A FVCKING POEM undecided

Other words
Llaykorn this is rather wack
Steer clear of Rap
