The final peace!

Dark black hole
please take my soul
It feels eternity
has captured me

I long to leave
this lonely atmosphere
and take a brother
or two with me

We cannot live
in singularity
humanity in us
demands a beat

but when I leave
I fear I'll be alone
without a friendship
I desperately need

And in the end
Charon waits for me
to answer all
my childish needs

I've waited 40 years
for an Awakening
only to find
captivity

Maybe someday
I will disintegrate
and leave you all
my precious energy

Until then
my spirit yearns to leave
To find a place
to rest in peace!

Comments

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem demonstrates a strong grasp of rhythm and meter, which contributes to its overall flow. The use of metaphors, such as "Dark black hole" and "Charon waits for me," effectively conveys the speaker's feelings of despair and longing for escape. However, the poem could benefit from further exploration of these metaphors to deepen the reader's understanding of the speaker's emotional state.

The poem's theme of isolation and longing for companionship is clear and well-developed. However, the transition from the speaker's desire to "take a brother or two with me" to the fear of being alone could be more smoothly executed. Clarifying the relationship between these two sentiments could enhance the poem's emotional impact.

The final stanza, with its mention of "precious energy," introduces a new concept that could be further developed. If this energy is a metaphor for something else, such as the speaker's life force or contributions to the world, additional context or elaboration could make this metaphor more impactful.

Lastly, the poem's structure could be more consistent. Most stanzas have four lines, but some have two or three. Standardizing the stanza structure could improve the poem's rhythm and readability.

I had a very strong reaction to this poem. I want to reach out and take your hand and walk with you, while you tell me your story. I am very sad that you feel so alone in life. There is one positive thing that comes from your profound pain... your wonderful poetry!

Have you ever seen the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Well this is the story of my life. The exception being that I really didn't get to see
my kids. In fact they still don't come around. I am glad you like my poetry.
