Poem -

Light Of Day

~~
While locked away, from light of day,
 In dungeons deep and dark.
 Caught in a spell, of tortuous hell.
 The loneliness leaves it's mark.

 In her mind she dreams,of other things,
 That take her thoughts away.
 To escape the thought, of what she's got,
 Give glimpse to light of day.

 A fascination for investigation,
 The fantasy unfurls the mind.
 The dream it seems, to ease the screams,
 Of ones that aren't so kind.

 But to break the spell, makes her well.
 Gives her some kind of release.
 Her spirits rise, with close of eyes,
 Sometimes her fears decrease.

 For a moment in time, she feels fine.
 Not caught by what others say.
 She escapes the thought of what she's got,
 Gives glimpse to light of day.

this is perfectly crafted!

it seems that there may be bullying portrayed, that the dungeon is self isolation, and the diagnosis depression!

am i anywhere close?

hope to hear back on this!

wish you well

Stephen,

 You are not very far off at all. The poem (for me) is talking about a girl that is being tortured and the fight she makes to escape that torture. The reason I write as vague as I do is so that the reader can morph the poem to make the meaning fit their needs. I thank you for your time to read and comment on my scribbling! Hope to see you return again! Good day my friend! Anthony

Only just read this poem Anthony but really liked it!  I was going to choose a stanza to quote, but each was equally as good as the last, a touching piece that spoke volumes with some beautiful lines of imagery. A 5*s and a nom from me :)

Anthony!  I love this write….smooth flow and excellent imagery as you open the widow to the reader to watch "her" and thoughts that need exposure to the "light of day".
