Analysis of Within My Mind

Adam long 1986 (Virginia)



Deep within the darkened hallways of my mind
I claw at the walls, searching for a light

shadows grow darker as demon eyes pierce through
Staring at me with bright yellow hue's.

Slowly I crawl through into a boat
But there's no water and it does not float

I stay inside the boat to keep me safe
From the demons in the dark of the cave

I fall asleep within my safe place
But wake to a light, Shining in my face

My hand raises to see the light
Demons retreat and the view comes to sight.

About this poem

This poem actually I wrote with a riddle inside of it but I'll give you the answer, the boat represents my now fiance, she is my safe place, but I also battle depression so that's where the dark comes in.

Adam long

I tend to write alot of love poems, actually I have a book that I keep on my night stand that I fill with love poems to my fiance , I hope to fill the book so we can look back on it when we grow old. But I believe the best poems come from the heart, and from personal experiences. more…
