The Arcana Archives of Carmi'Esis - 3. Cornered and Drowned

I just finished helping three people get off their depressive modes. For some reason, they were triggered simultaneously and I am not able to go to them because they are three different people. After fighting alongside them for more than two hours, we've managed to pull through. We almost lost three good souls. Venting out their feelings through this piece.

E'noh Paio Gabek
High Magistrate
City of Rakhaz

There are times you want to run,
but there are times you want to dance,
yet all you see is through a black sun,
so you bet on a dead, broken chance.
You were looking for something fun,
but you’re captured by a dark romance,
because all you want is to be someone,
now trapped in an endless trance.

You said that you just wanted to be free,
a desire of your heart was but a dream,
stuck in the middle of the dead blue sea,
underneath the moon’s filthy stream.
So you run, escaping the demonic decree,
hoping that you won’t see the evil scheme,
but all hope has been hung on a tree,
because your life is brutally extreme.

Alive, yet waiting for your spirit to rot,
still, you fight against all dreaded malice,
the fragrance of paradise was a long shot,
yet you get drunk from the devil’s chalice.
Don’t look back, but still you’re caught,
for you’re inside the deceiver’s palace
all hope is now nothing but naught,
blinded by a black aurora borealis.

When will this suffering truly end?
For you have toiled with all your force,
to the deepest depths you are sent,
fending off the heart’s dark remorse.
But in weakness will you only transcend,
armed with people that help you enforce,
through them will the darkness suspend,
for they are charging on a white horse.

Very well done Solus. I understand the depths of the black and dark hole.

Thanks! Even if the piece was almost entirely dark, I can't help but to put a glimpse of hope at the very end of the piece. Every depressed person should have the right to be given hope. The light at the end of the tunnel.

Hope shines in the end, yet the dark still hurts and harms. You capture this well. The third stanza really got to me.

Thank you! As I've said before, we have every right to hope and dream for tomorrow. :D

The "drowning" and "cornered" feeling brought on by depression is very real and could spark hopelessness. This poem describes that well. The rhyme scheme you used seems difficult to pull off, yet you did so masterfully. Another good piece :D!

Thank you. Well, I really have a knack for rhymes. For some reason, it sings to my ears that's I would always attempt to pull it off no matter what. And yes, my intention was for The Archives to sing to the souls of its readers. A dose of a dark reality, being poured into the beauty of poetry.
